Research Methods for Sport Management (Foundations of Sport Management)

Description

Review "This text is a solid companion for graduate-level research classes, where sport management and communication students may have had little or no research experience at the undergraduate level. Certainly, a supplemental text on the actual application of specific statistical analysis would be necessary for more advanced students looking to conduct actual research. For doctoral studies, this would also serve as an appropriate foundational resource. More in-depth resources are clearly needed for students taking on a thesis or dissertation. However, this is an excellent text for instructors wanting to give more than the basic quick introduction to research methods. For the sport communications classroom, the authors have excelled in providing a broad range of hypothetical cases and recent case examples that factor in topics appropriate for this audience."- Julie D.
