Governance and Policy in Sport Organizations Reviews

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
