2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the 1966 FIFA World Cup, hosted
in England. Unlike previous literature, which has tended to focus
activities on the field, this book brings an institutional level
approach to organizing the 1966 FIFA World Cup and examines the
management process in the buildup and execution of the event. This
intriguing new volume looks at the first significant UK government
intervention in football and how this created a significant legacy
as the government started to take a real interest in leisure
facilities and stadium safety as policy areas after this
competition. Foundations of Managing Sporting Events will be of
considerable interest to research academics working on aspects of
post war British, Imperial, and World history including sport,
social, business, economic, and political history.

The London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB) was a unique hybrid
public body accountable only to a small number of stakeholders, yet
it delivered substantial improvements in public services and
provided good working conditions for its employees at the cost of
its investors. London Transport: A Hybrid in History 1905-48
innovatively combines a revisionist historical narrative with a
systematic analysis of quantitative and qualitative research to
explore how and why the LPTB achieved rare popularity amongst its
customers. Divided into three sections, the book explores the
financial operations of the Board, the Board as a system of
governance and the leadership and management within the LPTB. Using
the extensive Transport for London archives, James Fowler conducts
a timely assessment of the public network utility that once made
London transport domestically popular and internationally admired.
With debates about British transport policy ongoing, this book is
an illuminating read for scholars and students researching within
the areas of business management history, transport and public
sector governance and administration.
