Managing Sport Facilities and Major Events

Staging a sports event - from Olympic competitions to local contests - requires careful organisation and planning to ensure enjoyment by competitors and spectators.

This insightful guide shows how to achieve success, covering all those essential factors -large and small- that contribute to the sporting event, from corporate boxes to sprinklers, and first aid to the media, with everything in between.

Working systematically through practical management tasks and the technical concerns that face sports managers every day, chapters cover feasibility assessment, market research, event bidding and branding, risk analysis, contract and project management, corporate structure, quality assurance, budgeting, facility management, staffing, occupational health and safety, and contractual considerations as well as economic, social, community and environmental impact issues.
