Description
From the Book Back
Sport Finance, Second Edition, grounds students in the real world of financial management in sport, showing them how to apply financial concepts and appreciate the importance of finance in sound sport management and operations. Designed for sport finance courses in a sport management curriculum, this text distinguishes the skills and principles of finance from those of economics. It also:
• allows students to apply information in whatever segment of the sport industry they will be working in—including professional franchises, college athletics, local clubs, and retail settings;
• includes expanded coverage of business structures, the time value of money, and ethical guidelines and issues in auditing;
• presents updated examples, references, and case studies, giving students contemporary examples and adequate coverage of core concepts; and
• helps students new to sport finance to comprehend the subject by including chapter objectives, easy-to-follow figures and tables, summaries, and discussion questions.
This second edition includes five case studies that are referred to throughout the book. These studies—in professional, college, private business, manufacturing, and not-for-profit settings—represent the breadth of the sport world where finance is a critical component of success. As an added benefit to instructors, several ancillary materials are included to make the topics more comprehensive to students.
