'This Handbook is a milestone just by its existence but also because it indeed is a robust quality handbook, doing the kind of specific job such a focused academic product should do.' -- Hans Lundberg, Idrottsforum.org'Söderman and Dolles have assembled an impressive array of researchers to address the nexus between sport and business. In their rich collection of research on sport business theory and practice Söderman and Dolles identify research themes from governance to branding, from sport events to sport systems, and from social media to fan identity, and they specifically reflect on the application of major theoretical concepts and key research methods. The authors' aim is to advance sport business research through critical reflection on topic selection, research design, data analysis and interpretation. Their unique approach encourages researchers, from novice to experienced, to embrace diverse theories and methods. The Handbook is recommended reading for those interested in advancing sport business research.' -- Graham Cuskelly, Griffith University, Australia'This insight-laden volume encompasses today's and tomorrow's research across the multifaceted landscape of the business side of sport - from branding and sponsorship to media and technology, from club management to governance. It effectively encompasses both theory and practice. Scholars, students, and practitioners will find this cogent collection of international consumer and business research knowledge and perspectives both informative and useful.' -- Stephen A.
