From the Preface: The field of sport management stands at an academic crossroads; the essays in this book address the following and other emerging questions:
Should our successful field of study continue to model other disciplines and perpetuate their successes, as well as their shortcomings, or should we determine our own specific model for academic success?
How are we doing in preparing future sport managers to perform in the industry and on the global stage?
Where do we belong in the scheme of academe?
The book''s goal is to generate discussion among sport management professors, industry professionals who serve as adjunct faculty and participate on sport management program advisory boards, doctoral students who intend to teach in sport management programs, and others who explore and critique higher education in general.
