Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In an era of unprecedented expansion, sport has become even more significant and pervasive in American society. As sport has continued to grow, so have the facilities that support sporting events. As the number of facilities has grown, so has the number of people who management the various sport facilities on college and university campuses as well as large public assembly facilities found in every large metropolitan area worldwide. This growing global industry places unique demands on its personnel and increasingly requires specialized education. The job requirements in the sport industry involve many skills applicable to the sport setting and specific to the increasingly complex and multifaceted areas it represents. This text provides the student and practitioner with enough information on a variety of subjects to know where to proceed without assistance and when it would be wise to seek additional professional assistance. Since the early 1970s, a new breed of specialists has emerged-the public assembly facility manager. Public assembly facility managers receive similar training as sport managers. These two professionals generally complete degrees in sport management with minors in business administration. Sport management has been considered a legitimate field of study for the past 20 years in higher education. Sport management is an umbrella term that includes such areas as fitness, physical activity, recreation, and sport. A major concern for sport management, its students and practitioners, is the continued need for a variety of textbooks and related resources in this expanding field of study. Some texts are generalized and others more focused. Facility Management for Physical Activity and Sport is a comprehensive compilation of concepts and practical subject matter published for the sport management student and future facility manager as well as practitioners."--Publisher's website

Book Synopsis Management of Sport and Physical Activity by : Earle F. Zeigler Ph. D. D. Sc LLD Fnak
Download or read book Management of Sport and Physical Activity written by Earle F. Zeigler Ph. D. D. Sc LLD Fnak and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Zeigler, the author of Management of Sport and Physical Activity (The Case Method Approach), is convinced that The Harvard Case Method should be used much more extensively and much more knowledgeably in sport and physical activity management in the 21st century. Using this teaching technique students read, analyzed, and then discussed real life administrative problems like those they would have to face in their future careers. The emphasis was on careful analysis and digging for facts. The instructor was very important with this approach, but he/she did not dominate the discussion or seek a predetermined goal. He/she served as (1) a resource person, (2) an evaluator of progress, (3) an informed member of the group, (4) a discussion chairperson, and (5) a summarizer. The student will find, however, that no new supply of knowledge is included one that must be learned. Here instead is an approach to the learning of management that the prospective manager of sport and physical activity has not yet met satisfactorily to a truly significant degree. This text can be used by itself at either undergraduate or graduate levels of instruction, or it may be used as a laboratory manual in conjunction with a more traditional, knowledge-oriented text. (For example, the author's Management Theory and Practice in Physical Activity Education (Including Athletics) was published in 2010 with this in mind (also available at Trafford Publishing, Bloomington, IN.“a href="http://www.trafford.com">www.trafford.com>) Down through the years of the twentieth century, the case method of instruction attracted favorable attention steadily and increasingly in business, law, educational administration, and the social sciences. Many who have managed programs, and who have perhaps taught the management course in the professional program, have felt the need for an improved approach to the subject at hand. Try it youself; you and your students (!) won't be disappointed.
