Sport Management: Macro Perspectives

Ross Willmot is Executive Director of the Ontario Association for
Continuing Education.

This faculty member of the University of Western Ontario, because of his training in both physical education and management science backed by 30 years of intercultural experience as a teacher/coach, has produced an excellent overview of general as well as sport management.

The framework for this useful study is the traditional one of managerial functions — planning, organizing, leading, and evaluating. The book’s contents, a composite of Dr. Chelladurai’s teaching materials for graduate and undergraduate courses, will be useful not only to other teachers and students but to the general reader. A summary is provided for each section, questions for discussion, and references for more detailed study. Dr. Chelladurai has applied sound theoretical orientation to the discussion of practical, on-the-job considerations. We are given a comprehensive rundown of management theories and applications from those at the beginning of the century to the latest systems approach.
