Synopsis:
Applied Sport Management Skills uses the four management functions of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling to teach readers how to become strong leaders and managers in the world of sport. This book, along with its companion Web site and online student resource, provides a comprehensive overview of management topics with a unique focus on developing the necessary skills for managing sport organizations. The text's how-to approach helps students learn by putting into practice what they will be doing as sport managers including creative problem solving, strategic planning, and developing the skills to lead, organize, and delegate. By taking principles and concepts presented in the text and applying them to professional practice, students will be able to assess how their interests and skills can contribute to the growing sport management field. Filled with various exercises and real-world examples, Applied Sport Management Skills contains valuable tools to help students understand leadership and management in the sport industry: Chapter-opening scenarios, revisited throughout each chapter, provide a cohesive thread to keep students focused on how sport managers use the text concepts on the job. Each chapter also includes several application examples from a variety of sport organizations. Case studies in each chapter help students apply their newly gained knowledge to real-life situations. Time-outs encourage students to relate chapter concepts to their own experiences through brief assignments and questions. Self-assessment exercises enable students to better understand themselves and to determine their strengths and areas of improvement. Skill-building exercises provide students with the opportunity to develop skills they can use in their personal and professional lives. Application and skill-development sidebars, learning outcomes, key terms, and chapter summaries reinforce key points covered in the chapter. App
