Contemporary Issues in Sport Management: A Critical Introduction presents an extensive selection array of absorbing contemporary issues relevant to managing sport. Internationally recognised scholars have contributed thought provoking chapters on current global and local issues that are challenging traditional ways of thinking about and delivering sport.   Hot topics such as corruption, doping, ethics, player transgression, social media, innovation and corporate social responsibility will engage students in thinking about the dynamic nature of sport and organisational implications. The Tools for Analysis and Action Learning questions provide a great basis for students to employ higher-level thinking strategies to the diverse array of incredibly interesting ‘real life’ Sport Cases presented in each chapter.   This exciting new book is rich in theory and stimulates readers to really think through the associated implications for sport management practice.
