Routledge Handbook of Theory in Sport Management
«
Selected as an Outstanding Academic Title (OAT) 2016 by CHOICE magazine.
"Cunningham (Ohio State), Fink (Univ. of Massachusetts, Amherst), and Doherty (Western Univ., Ontario, Canada) have produced a broad-reaching exploration of how major theories from disciplines outside sports—sociology, managerial and marketing sciences, economics, social and behavioral psychology, and so on—as well as theories endogenous to sport management have been adapted for and contribute to the advanced study of sport's industrial and social significance. The contributors, many of them top scholars in the field, look at how researchers might best interpret sport's unique interactions (economic exchange, marketing, communication), governance structures (stakeholdership, international policy), products (sport as brand, as good), sociocultural effects (producer of racial, gender, sexual identities), and identities (fan or organizational). The contributors not only make a compelling case for how theory can help scholars understand and operationalize sport's political, economic, social, and entrepreneurial significance but also demonstrate how social scientists can forge new lines of interpretation of sport. Though pricey, this is a requisite survey of social science theory as applied to the field of sport management.

Theory is an essential element in the development of any academic discipline and sport management is no exception. This is the first book to trace the intellectual contours of theory in sport management, and to explain, critique and celebrate the importance of sport management theory in academic research, teaching and learning, and in the development of professional practice.
Written by a world-class team of international sport management scholars, each of whom has taken a leading role in developing a particular theory or framework for understanding sport management, the book covers the full span of contemporary issues, debates, themes and functional approaches, from corporate social responsibility and diversity to strategy, marketing and finance. Every chapter explores a key theoretical approach, including an overview of that theory, a discussion of the process of theory development and of how the theory has been employed in research, practice or teaching, and outlines directions for future research in that area. Each chapter includes cases and examples, as well as short illustrative commentaries from people who have used that particular theory in their work, and attempts to highlight the theory-practice links, or gaps, in that area.
For a fully-rounded understanding of what sport management is and how it should be studied, taught and practiced, a thorough grounding in theory is essential. The Routledge Handbook of Theory in Sport Management is therefore important reading for all advanced students, researchers, instructors, managers and practitioners working in this exciting field.
