Informationen zum Autor Robert Wilson, John Joyce Klappentext Sport and leisure managers need to understand the financial side of their industry to offer the most cost-effective facilities and to make sound business decisions. However, to the non-expert the language and practice of finance is often bewildering and perceived as complicated, difficult and impenetrable.

Ideal for students on sport and leisure management courses, this book will also be valuable to practising managers who need a quick-reference guide to everyday financial questions. Zusammenfassung Specifically written with the sport and leisure industry in mind, this textbook provides a clear structured programme to enable students to tackle finance confidently, working from first principles with numerous sport-based case studies, worked examples and self-tests.
