Complemented by a new companion website full of useful ancillary materials, this is an essential resource for all sport management students and instructors. "a text that continues to be perhaps the seminal volume for teaching sport policy and governance to a future generation of sport leaders ... It is broad in its topical coverage while still providing micro-level examples to bring together the theoretical and practical applications of sport policy and governance in the classroom." - Emily M. Newell, International Journal of Sport Communication
"Understanding governance structures is essential for any career in sport management as it provides a "big picture" perspective on where one fits into one's organization and where that organization fits into its industry segment. Drs. Hums and MacLean are ideally suited authors who possess a wealth of experience in a variety of international sport settings as sport management researchers and practitioners. Utilizing current real-world examples, their fourth edition book equips the reader with the theoretical knowledge bases related to governance and policy development, as well as governance structures in a variety of sport industry segments." - Karen Danylchuk, Professor of Sport Management, Western University, Canada
