Financial Management in the Sport Industry

Review

"Compared to other sport finance texts, this one "does the best job of balancing fundamental financial concepts and financial issues over the standard academic semester." Brian P. Soebbing, Temple University "I love the topics in the book- facility financing, economic impact, valuation and feasibility studies, the industry segments such as public sector, college and pro sports.... Students in sport management have the opportunity to explore a wide range of market segments." Andrea Pent, Neumann University "Authors Brown, Rascher, Nagel and McEvoy are each very accomplished educators, researchers and professionals, contributing their collective expertise and insight into the finance side of sports from the various aspects of administration, entertainment, business, economics, athletics, fundraising and marketing, to name a few. Financial Management in the Sport Industry, second edition, presents these important considerations. ... Instructors and students whose main focus is professional and commercial sports will greatly benefit from this text." Sloane Milstein, Texas A&M University "This book explains many important concepts in finance, accounting, economics with plenty of practice questions and case studies. Its many sports industry related articles help students to understand current and historical events.... Overall, I think all chapters provide well rounded information to students and challenge them intellectually." Jack Oh, New York University "I think the authors have done a nice job presenting an adequate amount of background information and spending the majority of the pages focusing on these concepts in a sport-specific context. . . . [They] have presented tremendous depth in a variety of very important areas of sport finance that have never before been presented to the field of sport management." Joris Drayer, Temple University
