Sport is a rapidly expanding business and a key sector of the national economy. Better training for sports administrators and managers and improved standards of sports organisation are essential if this growth is to be sustained. This practical, ground-breaking handbook examines key issues previously unexplored in a sport context. By outlining management principles and procedures it aims to improve the knowledge of those studying or working in sport. Sports Management and Administrationwill be of benefit to those working in the voluntary or private sectors, in local or national agencies, as well as those employed by local authorities. It will be particularly useful for sport development officers, sports administrators and managers, and those working for governing bodies of sports and national or local sports councils.
