Now in a fully revised sixth edition, it is still the only textbook that covers all the key topics taught within contemporary sport and leisure management courses. This new edition includes expanded coverage of the practical managerial skills that students must develop if aiming for a career in the sport and leisure industry, from planning and managing people to marketing and entrepreneurship. It includes five completely new chapters on leisure in the home, financial management, quality management and law and enterprise, reflecting important developments in contemporary sport and leisure. This edition retains the hallmark strengths of previous editions, including in-depth discussion of the social and cultural context of sport and leisure, full analysis of the public, private and voluntary sectors, and a review of key products and services, including sport, tourism, the arts, play and leisure in the natural environment. Richly illustrated throughout with up-to-date evidence, data, case-studies and international examples, each chapter also contains a range of useful pedagogical features, such as discussion questions, practical tasks and structured guides to further reading and resources. For the first time, a dedicated companion website offers additional teaching and learning resources for students and lecturers. --$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aLeisure$xManagement 606 $aLeisure industry$xManagement 606 $aRecreation$xManagement 606 $aLeisure$xManagement 606 $aSports administration 615 4$aLeisure$xManagement. 615 0$aLeisure industry$xManagement. 615 0$aRecreation$xManagement. 615 0$aLeisure$xManagement 615 0$aSports administration. 676 $a790.069 700 $aTorkildsen$b George$01519765 702 $aTaylor$b Peter 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 912 $a9910790276203321 996 $aTorkildsen's sport and leisure management$93758049 997 $aUNINA
