"Managing Sport Business: An Introduction (2nd ed.) is a comprehensive text that covers global sport management, issues and functions in sport management, and application of sport management theory … An impressive array of examples and case studies helps this text stand out from a list of general sport management books. Instructors could consider this book for a variety of courses, but an international sport business course would be a logical fit." – Jillian McNiff, Flagler College, USA, International Journal of Sport Communication
