Advanced Theory and Practice in Sport Marketing

"The third edition of Advanced Theory and Practice in Sport Marketing is an excellent resource for both sport management faculty and students. Eric C. Schwarz and Jason D. Hunter have done a great job of delivering a timely and relevant new edition of their textbook. This text would be a welcome addition to any sport management program's curriculum and would serve sport management students well as a wonderful resource for understanding the world of sport marketing. As the authors suggest, this text is intended to go beyond the basic entry-level discussion of sport marketing.
