Companion Website

This website is designed to accompany the second edition of Sport Business Management: Decision Making Around the Globe, written by three leading business professors from around the world: George Foster (Stanford University, USA), Norm O’Reilly (University of Maine, USA), and Tony Davila (University of Lausanne). Foster, an Australian, and O’Reilly, a Canadian, cover, between them, one of the world’s leading business schools and the globally recognized top program in sport management. It is international in focus, grounded in the real-life decisions facing sport managers, and is illustrated and supported by many cases, exercises, examples, and data analyses.

The book includes content about sport organizations, such as the Olympic Games, FIFA World Cup, the European Premier Leagues and Major North American Professional Sport Leagues. Stanford cases are updated for the second edition and entirely new chapters cover the latest topics, including esports, sports gambling, fantasy sports and crisis management. This is an ideal textbook for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students of sports business and management. Chapter PowerPoints are provided as a basis for instructors to use on their own or to add content/examples/style to. Further material will be added to this website soon, including chapter summaries and case studies
