Book Description
This book outlines the private sport sector in different European countries. Sport in the European countries is organized in three distinct sectors. These are the state/public sector, which provides financial and political support for sport infrastructure; the civic/non-profit sector, which provides sport activities and services for citizens, usually in the forms of sport clubs; and the private sector, which is comprised of profit-making private companies and professional teams that produce and sell sport products and services. The private sport sector is becoming ever more important in a global market economy and a financial climate characterized by a public sector in crisis. Taking this into consideration, this book provides a detailed outline of the structure and characteristics of the private sport sector, discusses recent developments in the sector, and compares data across business fields and countries. Containing contributions from sport academics from eighteen countries, this book provides an overall, up-to-date picture of the private sport sector in Europe. Filling a significant gap in sport sociology and economics scholarships, this book will be of use to students and scholars of business and social sciences of sport as well as decision makers and the entrepreneurs.

Book Description
This book provides an overview of perspectives and approaches to the cultural meaning of sport volunteering in different countries. The main objective is to reflect on the diversity of meanings with regard to volunteering in different cultures and societies. Additionally, this book will shed light on volunteering practices and the impact of volunteering from both an economic and a sociological perspective. The book begins with an introductory section that gives an overview of the rationale of the text and the diversity of sport volunteers in general. From there, the book's 25 chapters each discuss a specific country case study provided by researchers from the respective country. These studies provide a comprehensive overview of volunteering in each country, such as motivations of volunteers, satisfaction of volunteers, their perceived cost and benefits, and many other areas related to the overall study. By having twenty-five different countries represented and a native of each country authoring the respective chapters, this book serves as a comprehensive and diverse review of sports volunteering around the world and can be incorporated into courses in economics - particularly those dealing with sports economics - and can also be used as a reference for volunteer organizations and sports economists worldwide.

Book Description
¿Qué tienen en común el seleccionador nacional de baloncesto y el director general de Inditex? Aunque a simple vista pudiera parecer que más bien poco, un análisis más profundo revela multitud de paralelismos entre los que, quizá, el más significativo sea que ambos dirigen equipos ejerciendo (y gestionando) el liderazgo con el objetivo de alcanzar la excelencia (se refleje ésta en una cuenta de resultados o en un campeonato olímpico). Partiendo de las similitudes (y también de las diferencias) entre el ámbito del deporte de alta competición y el mundo de la alta gestión, Juan Carlos Cubeiro y Leonor Gallardo desarrollan un estudio conciso y ameno, repleto de referencias a casos reales y cercanos de deportistas de éxito (Fernando Alonso, Rafa Nadal, el Sevilla C.F., etc.) y de empresas y empresarios igualmente reconocidos (Microsoft, Inditex...) de los que extraen valiosas lecciones que se pueden aplicar en nuestro día a día en la búsqueda de esa excelencia. Descriptivo y formativo, Liderazgo, empresa y deporte, puede leerse desde el punto de vista del deportista o del gestor pues ofrece claves esenciales que permitirán tanto a uno como a otro alcanzar el oro en la gestión y obtener dividendos tangibles en el deporte.

Book Description
This volume unpicks mega-events as gendered entities and showcases how they both position athletes in relation to one of two binary sex positions and also push the boundaries of what we see and accept as a recognisably gendered male or female body.

Book Description
Nature sports in general and hiking in particular have become, in our urban and post-industrial societies, a growing phenomenon practiced by millions of citizens. The motivations and interests of this large group are varied, but they have a common element: to disconnect from stressful modern life and reconnect with nature. National parks and other protected areas are the preferred destinations, but they present an challenging contrast for land management: conservation versus tourist use. While once considered a romantic practice of escape and discovery, hiking is now a consumer product and a tourist experience. It promises experiences of disconnection, quiet and health; yet, natural spaces are increasingly scarce and more often than not they are crowded by other recreationalists. This book presents a multidisciplinary perspective on the latest trends and developments in hiking. In particular, the authors work from a European perspective with various outdoor recreation models represented and different conservation initiatives explored in the contexts of Spain, Norway, Poland, Germany and Lebanon. Collectively, the authors attend to hiking as a social phenomenon and economic opportunity, which has the potential to sustainably revitalize rural destinations, if managed properly.

Book Description
This is the first critical, in-depth academic study of FC Barcelona (also known as Barça), one of the world’s great football clubs, exploring the historical, political, cultural and commercial dimensions of this global sporting institution. The book examines why and how the club grew from its genesis as a small sporting organisation in the developing urban landscape of Barcelona in 1899 to become a contemporary giant that has both shaped and transcended football. It considers how globalisation, cultural identity and political ideology can help us to understand the development of Barça, but also how the growth of the phenomenon of FC Barcelona helps us to better understand those forces shaping contemporary global societies. It brings together leading scholars from around the world to examine key themes such as governance, regional and national politics, storytelling, fandom, digital media, branding, commercialisation and sport diplomacy, exploring topics such as the European Super League fiasco and the rise of Lionel Messi as a global icon. It also includes a series of chapters looking at the importance of FC Barcelona around the world, including in Latin America, the United States, Africa and East Asia. This illuminating, multi-disciplinary study of FC Barcelona is essential reading for anybody with an interest in football, Catalonian politics and culture, or the history, politics, culture and business of sport.

Book Description
Desde que se realizara la primera encuesta sobre hábitos deportivos en nuestro país (1982) y tras la publicación de los resultados de tres encuestas sobre prácticas deportivas en España entre 2014 y 2016, el conocimiento sociológico disponible sobre el deporte, tanto en su aspecto competitivo como recreativo, se ha visto reforzado y actualizado. Según el último Eurobarómetro publicado por la Comisión Europea, España ocupa el décimo lugar, junto a Reino Unido, en práctica deportiva de los 28 países que forman la UE, con una tasa del 46% de la población y una regularidad de al menos una vez por semana. Esto supone que nuestro país se sitúa por delante de países con una larga tradición deportiva, como Francia, Italia, Austria y Polonia. La popularización del deporte en España analiza las encuestas sobre hábitos deportivos de carácter sociológico, llevadas a cabo por el Consejo Superior de Deportes (CSD) y el Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas (CIS), en los últimos 35 años, que han venido arrojando información valiosa a los diferentes servicios de deportes de las administraciones públicas de cara a adaptar sus planes a los propios hábitos y necesidades de la población española.
