Synopsis

This four-volume set introduces, on the management side, principles and procedures of economics, budgeting and finance; leadership; governance; communication; business law and ethics; and human resources practices; all in the sports context. On the marketing side this reference resource explores two broad streams: marketing of sport and of sport-related products (promoting a particular team or selling team- and sport-related merchandise, for example), and using sports as a platform for marketing non-sports products, such as celebrity endorsements of a particular brand of watch or the corporate sponsorship of a tennis tournament. Together, these four volumes offer a comprehensive and authoritative overview of the state of sports management and marketing today, providing an invaluable print or online resource for student researchers.

From Booklist:

The study of sports management prepares students for industry careers in marketing, sales, facility and event management, finance, and more. Sage’s new Encyclopedia of Sports Management and Marketing offers an academic and practical view of this field of study. The encyclopedia was designed to support the seven common professional-component topical areas of sports management, as indicated by the Commission on Sport Management Accreditation. As such, it is not an encyclopedia of sports but the business of sports. The more than 300 contributors are made up of both academics and practitioners, and, as a result, much of the content is put into context using real-world examples. The more than 800 entries are generally U.S.-centric. Women’s NBA teams were left out of this lineup, however, receiving only one general article about the league. This is a disappointment, considering the unique challenges inherent in marketing a women’s professional franchise. Articles cover a variety of topics in the areas of business and marketing, franchises and organizations, sporting events, legal issues, sponsorship, and current issues in the field, like doping, gender equity, and salary escalation. Online, mobile, and social marketing receive considerable attention, with entries on Twitter and Facebook, pop-up and banner ads, and blogs and webcasts. The entries on managing events are perfect for student research and assignments. These offer a combination of discussion points including event overview, history, course design, local considerations, volunteers, marketing, and sanctions and sponsors. Sage’s customary “Reader’s Guide,” lists of articles and contributors, index, and a chronology round out the material. Articles are signed and include see also references and further readings. The set is in full color, a rare yet refreshing characteristic of a multivolume reference work. Highly recommended for libraries supporting sports-management research. --Sue Polanka
