The movement of people from a rural to an urban environment is one
of the most striking features of Scotland's past. This movement was
the result of a shift in the general pattern of work from
agricultural to industrial in the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries. This was followed by a notable shift in the pattern of
urban work, from manufacturing industry to the provision of
services, in the late twentieth century. Beneath these general
patterns there lies a myriad of individual lived experiences, also
explored in this volume.As well as outlining the history of
settlement and work, this volume considers the working lives of
those engaged in feeding, housing and protecting the population,
those who work to keep the population healthy, and those who are
engaged in work of the imagination rather than work to meet
material needs. Since the nineteenth century an increasing number
of services have been controlled by government, both local and
central. The importance of public service is discussed, as is the
industrial way of life and the ways in which workers have to
co-operate, in the interest of their employer, themselves and
society.
Over the first decade of the 21st century the scale and importance
of the commercial sport industry has increased dramatically and
rapidly. This timely second edition of the ground-breaking text The
Business of Sport Management has been comprehensively revised,
updated and significantly expanded in scope to meet the needs of
today's sports management students, and equip future managers with
the tools they need to succeed. Elegantly blending theory with
practice, the text looks first at the distinctive context of sport
organisations. It then examines the sport management theories and
practice within functional areas such as finance, HRM, marketing
and strategy. Finally it considers important issues such as risk
management, sponsorship, retailing, social media, sports betting
and more. Written with a thoroughly international perspective, this
book is ideal for students of sports management on programmes of
sports, leisure and business studies, and will also be of great
interest to practitioners working in sport businesses.
