The Future of Sport Governance Review "a text that continues to be perhaps the seminal volume for teaching sport policy and governance to a future generation of sport leaders … It is broad in its topical coverage while still providing micro-level examples to bring together the theoretical and practical applications of sport policy and governance in the classroom." – Emily M. Newell, International Journal of Sport Communication"Understanding governance structures is essential for any career in sport management as it provides a "big picture" perspective on where one fits into ones organization and where that organization fits into its industry segment. Drs. Hums and MacLean are ideally suited authors who possess a wealth of experience in a variety of international sport settings as sport management researchers and practitioners. Utilizing current real-world examples, their fourth edition book equips the reader with the theoretical knowledge bases related to governance and policy development, as well as governance structures in a variety of sport industry segments." - Karen Danylchuk, Professor of Sport Management, Western University, Canada Review Quote "Understanding governance structures is essential for any career in sport management as it provides a "big picture" perspective on where one fits into ones organization and where that organization fits into its industry segment.
