Sport Entrepreneurship and Public Policy: Building a New Approach to Policy-making for Sport
About this ebook
To date, most sport policy research has also tended to pursue an organizational behavior or political science approach.

The new strategies proposed here offer valuable resources for public policy planners and sports managers alike, two groups who need to work together to build better policy initiatives.
