Organizational Communication and Sport

Jimmy Sanderson is Associate Professor in the Department of Kinesiology and Sport Management at Texas Tech University, USA. His research interests focus on social media and its impact for sport organizations and sport stakeholders.

Organizational Communication and Sport is an essential compendium focused on the at-times overlooked (but vitally important) area of the communication that is done within, by, and through sport organizations. Led by one of our field’s leading scholars, Sanderson has assembled a notable collection of 21 scholars who cover a wide variety of organizational topics (whistleblowing, technology, culture, mental health, leadership, law, marketing, etc.). This collection is a valuable, timely, and quality contribution to the body of knowledge in sport communication.
