This book sets the standard for sport marketing literature. Sport Marketing provides a good overview of marketing concepts and how they are applied to the sport product. Dr. Sutton is THE guru of sports marketing and delivers a quality instructional and practical guide for the serious sport manager.
Rated 5 stars because it was a good deal online. My wife needed this book for her grad program. We’re a little surprised on how long it took from the purchase date until we received it. Shipping was slowed compared to most items we purchase on including several books for her grad program. The book did come in perfect condition and we were able to use it for her course.I recommend that you should consider buying books for college, especially if you're in a grad program to save some money. My wife really liked this book.
As undergraduate and graduate degree offerings in sports industry management have proliferated, so have the classroom tools. This book stands head and shoulders above all others addressing marketing/sales issues for its conceptual and practical content, its depth and ease of reading. The authors have the benefit of knowing first hand what it takes to succeed in the teaching setting and what it takes to succeed in the real sports world because they have experienced both over and over . . . and over again.
This is the worst book I have ever been forced to read in my life. I had to get it for class and every time I read it I want to jump out of the window. It is super boring which makes it difficult to read and the pages are 99.9% words (I know it sounds silly, but again, it makes it difficult to read). You can tell the author tries to sound smarter by using fancy wording but it's just unnecessary and I find it distracting. Do not buy this book unless it is absolutely necessary, and if it is, good luck, ugh.
This book gives you a more in dept look at the world of Sports Marketing. A lot of the references in based on the NBA and how the commissioner made the professional basketball a global marketing sensation.
This was a required text for my class and I think my professor keeps it part of the curriculum so that he doesn't have to buy a new book. This book is excruciatingly boring and long and does not go in depth into any topic. I would look elsewhere.
I chose this order because it is required for my Kinesiology class. The pricing for my book was very reasonable compared to buying it on my schools campus and the order came in to me the next day of ordering it, in GREAT BRAND NEW condition. Wonderful Deal!! Thank you!
