About the Author
Drs. Mary Hums and Joanne MacLean are uniquely qualified as authors of an undergraduate textbook on the governance of sport organizations. Their knowledge of policy development and governance structures stems from firsthand experience working with sport organizations in the United States, Canada, and internationally.
Review
"Understanding governance structures is essential for any career in sport management as it provides a "big picture" perspective on where one fits into one’s organization and where that organization fits into its industry segment. Drs. Hums and MacLean are ideally suited authors who possess a wealth of experience in a variety of international sport settings as sport management researchers and practitioners. Utilizing current real-world examples, their fourth edition book equips the reader with the theoretical knowledge bases related to governance and policy development, as well as governance structures in a variety of sport industry segments." - Karen Danylchuk, Professor of Sport Management, Western University, Canada
