Australian Sport - Better by Design?

Australians have invested an enormous amount of emotional and physical capital in their sporting systems and structures. While Australian sport has many times been dissected from a historical and cultural perspective, there is little detailed analysis of sport's relationship with government.The book focuses on sport policy, and examines the ways in which government has affected the development of Australian sport since 1919. The text identifies the political, economic and cultural context in which policies were set, and examines critical policy shifts. The book also provides a strong theoretical foundation by first discussing the underlying principles of policy formulation, and second, the rationale for government intervention in national sport. It includes a number of sport policy case studies, with particular attention to the following topics:- Elite and Community sport development- Trends in participation and sport fan preferences - Problems in attracting young people to sport participation- Improving the management systems of sporting bodies- Government policy on sport broadcasting- Tools for evaluating sport policyProviding a unique blend of theory, history and practice, this text provides an essential foundation for sport policy analysis and will be read by students of sport studies and sport management as well as professionals with an interest in sport development.

Sport Management: Principles And Application

Hoye, Russel Stephen

Butterworth-Heinemann

The relationship between sport and the media is the defining commercial connection for both industries at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The media has transformed sport from an amateur pursuit into a hyper-commercialised industry, while sport has delivered massive audiences and advertising revenues to the media. As such, the sport media relationship must be managed. Sport and the Media: managing the sport-media nexus is a unique text which combines an analysis of the sport media industry with practical sport media management skills. The book is designed to equip students within sport management and related courses who need to understand the nature and scope of the sport media nexus, as well as develop the skills to manage the media promotion and coverage of sport organisations. After using this book throughout the course of a semester of study a student will understand the: * Historical development of sport and the media * Current commercial and contextual relationships between the media and sport industries * Ways in which audiences and advertisers drive the media coverage of sport * Ways in which the media industry generally and the sport industry more specifically are structured to produce content/news/products * Ways in which the media represents sport in order to sell it Through an understanding of these issues, it is expected that the student will have the foundation knowledge that will enable he or she to implement successful sport media management. As such, after using this book throughout the course of a semester of study a student will have developed a range of skills and be able to: * Plan for sport media coverage throughout the course of a season or year * Use a range of promotional tools and strategies as appropriate to the requirement and context (such as e-release, media conference, etc.) * Manage the media image of athletes within a sport organisation and be aware of the ways in which the media will seek to use those athletes * Manage the media representation of a sport organisation during a period of crisis or scandal Finally, it is expected that a student who uses Sport &amp; the Media: managing the sport-media nexus will have sufficient knowledge of the possible future developments in the sport and media industries to be able to develop the sport organisation in which they work, so that they are able to respond quickly and effectively to media coverage and promotional opportunities in an increasingly mediated, commercial and global sport environment. Similarly, those who work within sport organisations will be able to obtain sustainable, quality and positive media coverage from a variety of media organisations, through reading this text * The definitive undergraduate resource for understanding how to manage the commercially critical relationship between sport and the media * A user-friendly combination of theoretical concepts and practical applications completed by global case study material * Developed learning features specifically created for semester long courses accompanied with online resources for lecturers
