Applied Sport Management Skills, 4th Edition (EPUB)

Skills for Applied Sport Management, Fourth Edition HKPropel Access uses a hands-on approach to teach students how to become effective managers and leaders in the sports industry. Hundreds of new references and sport examples have been added to the fourth edition, which is organized around the central management functions of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. It also addresses the Common Professional Component topics of the Commission on Sport Management Accreditation (COSMA) and the guidelines of the North American Society for Sport Management (NASSM). The book uses a three-pronged strategy to educate management theory, apply theories, and help students become better managers. The effects of COVID-19, Black Lives Matter campaigns, name, image, and likeness regulations, women in executive roles, corporate social responsibility, data analytics, and other topics are covered in timely talks and case studies. Applied Sport Management Skills gives students the opportunity to put the concepts into practice while honing their abilities to become successful sport managers, in contrast to other texts that concentrate on teaching sport management. Activities in every chapter are supplemented by interactive online learning resources made accessible by HKPropel:

Key terms are taught to students through flash-card activities.
