Description

Product Description This new major work on sport and leisure management takes a wide and holistic view of the topic, conceptualising sport and leisure management as an area of study that is underpinned by a range of social science disciplines, including, but not limited to, political science, economics, sociology, psychology, geography and, of course, management. Over four volumes, Editor Mike Weed has carefully selected and compiled articles covering the key aspects of the subject, including context, supply, demand and management. In order to enhance the coherence of the collection, each volume is framed by a contextualising introductory chapter, with a larger primary introduction in Volume I tying the concept of the collection neatly together. Volume One: Dimensions of Sport and Leisure Management Volume Two: The Mixed Economy of Sport and Leisure Provision Volume Three: Sport and Leisure Consumption Volume Four: Managing Sport and Leisure Operations About the Author Professor Mike Weed is Professor of Sport in Society, Director of the Centre for Sport, Physical Education and Activity Research (SPEAR), and Director of Research for the Faculty of Social and Applied Sciences at Canterbury Christ Church University in the UK. He is interested in sport and physical activity consumption, the processes by which people engage with sport and health messages, and strategies for encouraging behaviour change, and his work in this area has been funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, the UK Department of Health, UK Sport, Sport England, and the Youth Sport Trust. Professor Weed is also interested in all areas of the relationship between sport and tourism, but particularly in the motivations and behaviours of active sports tourists and travelling sports spectators, and in the implications of hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Professor Weed is author (with Chris Bull) of Sports Tourism: Participants, Policy and Providers (2nd Ed., Elsevier, 2009) and Olympic Tourism (Elsevier, 2008), and Editor of Sport & Tourism: A Reader (Routledge, 2008). He is Editor of the Journal of Sport & Tourism (Taylor & Francis), has Guest Edited issues of European Sport Management Quarterly, European Journal of Sport Science and Psychology of Sport & Exercise, and sits on the Editorial Boards of Qualitative Research in Sport & Exercise and Psychology of Sport & Exercise.
