Product Description

Book Description

An international and comprehensive guide to the practical application of governance principles in sport organisations.

Product Description

Sport Governance provides a comprehensive guide to the practical application of governance principles to amateur and professional sport organisations operating at the community, state/provincial, national, and international levels. It presents a balanced view between accepted practice and what contemporary research evidence tells us about a range of governance principles and practices. Organised in three parts, the text provides the reader with

* an explanation of the concept of governance, key terms and definitions as well as the economic, political and social factors that impact on how the governance function is enacted within sport organisations;
* an understanding of the "mechanics" of governance - the elements of structure, process and performance that ensure the governance function is carried out within sport organisations; and
* a discussion of a number of contextual issues in sport governance, including dual leadership, ethics, governance change and future governance challenges.

Sport Governance is essential reading for practitioners working and volunteering in the sport industry and upper level undergraduate and postgraduate students enrolled in sport and leisure management programs.

* Provides a comprehensive guide to the practical application of governance principles in sport organisations
* Presents a balanced view between accepted practice and contemporary research evidence
* Organised in three parts: the concept of governance, the mechanics of governance, contextual issues in sport governance.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite what I expected, Oct 30 2011

By Chris - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Sport Governance (Paperback)

This is a very interesting and useful book, but it is not quite what I expected. I'm supervising a college independent study for a student in sports studies, and this is the text we chose. It's good as an introduction to European management of non-profit sports organizations, but I would have liked to see more discussion (as the title implies) of broader governance issues in global sports--FIFA, FIBA, IOC, etc.
