Special issue on Sport available now
A special issue of Management Decision on 'Taking Sport Seriously', is now available.
The Guest Editors, Andy Adcroft and Jon Teckman, from the University of Surrey and Ashridge Business School respectively, started with the prior assumption that sport should be taken seriously and asked for contributions that would either support us or damn them. It may be accident rather than design and the result of methodological impurities in sample selection but we think we have garnered some pretty compelling evidence that sport should be taken seriously, that in a whole series of different ways, sport does matter. Together the articles in this special issue produce evidence of not only why sport should be taken seriously but also how sport is taken seriously by those who spend all or part of their professional lives investigating it. Sport should be taken seriously and this special issue provides 11 reasons why. Simon Chadwick, founder and Director of the Centre for the International
Business of Sport, provides an Afterword.
