Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the context of the global sport industry, and asks how sport business might be a factor in enabling positive social change.

Opening with a chapter that introduces the most significant sociological, managerial, and social psychological theories, models, and frameworks for understanding this important topic, this book then presents in-depth case studies from around the world that explore various dimensions where sport business and social issues intersect. Covering characteristics such as race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and religious orientation, this book presents fascinating cases across a wide range of sports and international contexts - from women coaches in Nigeria and rodeo Cowboys of Color in Texas, to disability sport development in the Caribbean and allyship within German sport organizations.

Providing an important snapshot of global efforts to promote inclusion in and through sport, this book is a fascinating read for any student, researcher, policymaker, or practitioner with an interest in sport business and management, the sociology of sport, or social issues in wider society.
