In an increasingly turbulent, insecure and fast-changing world, this book presents case studies of crisis management that help the reader to understand what best practice looks like and how to guide sport organizations through the crises that are an inevitable aspect of commercial life.

Featuring the work of leading researchers from ten different countries, and drawing on work in sport management, sport communication and socio-cultural sport studies, the book includes cases from around the world. It explores important themes in contemporary sport management, including resilience in sport organizations; the use of technology in crisis communication; the socio-cultural dimensions of crisis management; reputation and image management; policing and security, and the management of sports events. It also offers examples from a wide range of different sports, including tennis, golf, soccer, gymnastics, mountaineering, rugby, distance running, and the Olympic Games.

This book is an essential addition to the library of anybody with an interest in sport business and management, event management, crisis communication or public relations.
