Essential Reading for Aspiring Sports Executives, June 26, 2005
This review is from: The Business of Sports: Cases and Text on Strategy and Management (Hardcover)
Dr. Foster's book is required reading for anyone interested in working in a front office of a major sports franchise. Foster provides context, cases, analysis, and methods for addressing the problems and opportunities that confront decision makers in front offices.
Not only is the book exceptionally informative, providing excellent examples and explanations, it's also a fascinating read that can provide a different perspective on how decisions are made (and should be made) in sports. It's rare to have a textbook that's this much fun to read; rarer still that it's actually insightful, valuable, and applicable to the real world.
This isn't just a great textbook -- it's a great book period.
