From a critical perspective contemporary topics are examined within each chapter’s introductory, case study, analysis, and action learning sections.
Byers’s excellent textbook provides a comprehensive and diverse introduction to relevant issues in the theory, principles, and practices of contemporary sport administration...a useful introduction and reference resource for anyone interested in sport administration and management.
A valuable and useful book for any student of sport management to have ready at hand.
Very good reading and perfect for our course.
A very good overview of contemporary issues within sport management; this is a great supplemental text for students undertaking individual projects/assessments surrounding this issue.
The book covers a lot of current topics and challenges in Sport Management. However, at the same it is very extensive and therefore only parts of the book can be adopted for the course.
It has not been adopted, but is one of several books under consideration for when the course is going through the next remake.
