Case Studies in Sport Marketing

Enterprising. Aggressive. Demanding. This is the business of sports as we know it today! Although there are numerous specialisations in the sports industry one aspect that can either make you or break you is marketing. The book was designed with this in mind. This textbook gives students an opportunity to apply what they have learned about sport marketing principles and concepts to real-life sport business situations. Each case is geared toward the enhancement of students' competency in critical analysis problem identification decision making and solution development. The principles throughout the cases are based upon the industry segmentation model developed by Pitts Fielding and Miller (1994) which includes Sport Performance Sport Production and Sport Promotion.

This much awaited second edition includes contemporary case studies that demonstrate applications of marketing techniques in the sport industry. The new edition, comprised of completely newly written cases, analyses a myriad of contemporary marketing plans, such as forming strategic alliances through sponsorship, creating community and building fan equity, and using inclusive sport as a vehicle for development and peace. This text is a valuable asset to supplement sport marketing courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels.
