This book was released on 2010-05-27 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Event management is a ubiquitous word in modern society. The word is used for small business breakfasts, large corporate shows and also for big international sport events, such as the Olympic Games. We all have an idea of what management is, but what is an event? An event is often described as something that happens , and therefore, in that sense, we could use the term event management to describe the organisation of everything that happens. Getz defines an event as an occurrence at a given place; a special set of circumstances; a noteworthy occurrence , and this definition embraces a wide range of possibilities with one important thing in common: they can only occur once. As such, one key characteristic of events is that they are not continuous, for they each have a beginning and an end, and every event is different from the last one. No matter how hard one tries, it is literally impossible to replicate an event ; thus, when watching the Olympic Games, we do not see the same picture repeating itself every four years, for the event changes and evolves over time. Consequently, to fully understand how things happen within any given event, it is necessary to get involved in the planning and execution of an event. Malhotra writes that events are an important aspect of human life and that our understanding of them is poorly developed. He thinks that there is a need to enhance the understanding of the subject , and this opinion is supported by the relative youth of academic study into the topic. In their book, Festival & Special Event Management , Allen, O Toole, Harris and McDonnell (2008) date the birth of the industry to the 1980s, where several seminal events set the pattern for the contemporary event industry as we know it today . Thus, especially compared with other disciplines in the field of social science, event management is a young discipline, and there is not yet a huge base of research to work with. In addition, rather than academically rigorous research conducted by professional researchers, much of the knowledge in the field has been generated by practising event managers who have written books about their own experiences, knowledge, and skills. It is of no surprise that these practitioners, and the events they discuss, tend to reflect the planning of the biggest events the earth has seen, such as the Olympic Games and US presidential inaugurations. These authors possess a great deal of experience, and [...]
Download or read book Event Management How to Apply Best Practices to Small Scale Events written by Sven Damm and published by Diplomica Verlag. This book was released on 2011-11 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Event management is a ubiquitous word in modern society. The word is used for small business breakfasts, large corporate shows and also for big international sport events, such as the Olympic Games. We all have an idea of what management is, but what is an event? This question and the theories behind the dynamic event industry are summarized in this book. Ultimately, the book combines a range of differing views about best practice and recommended behaviours; it identifies and recommends an event management model that potentially enables small-scale event managers to fully develop the potential of such events. The book reduces the gap between theory and practice and the framework of best practices can be applied to significantly improve the quality of managing similar events in the future.
Download or read book Principles and Practices of Small Scale Sport Event Management written by Fotiadis, Anestis and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2020-05-08 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there is significant research on large events that take place within athletics, small-scale events are largely ignored, in part due to the lack of press that they generate. However, these events require planning and preparation in the same way that larger sporting events do. This disparity between the effort that goes into the event and the attention the event draws allows for a gap in strategy or information available to those planning smaller scale athletic events. Principles and Practices of Small-Scale Sport Event Management is a cutting-edge reference publication that examines the successful organization and planning of small-scale sporting events. Featuring a wide range of topics such as community engagement, event planning, and sports management, this book is ideal for event planners, sports managers, marketers, academicians, practitioners, industry professionals, researchers, event organizers/coordinators, and students.

Download or read book Festival and Event Management in Nordic Countries written by Tommy D. Andersson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-11 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book on events-related research marks a watershed in the development of a "Nordic School" of festival and event research. Each of the chapters presents a new and interesting approach to the study of events, in terms of methods, perspectives or content. It is mostly rooted in management theory but also incorporating other perspectives that enhance our understanding of the phenomena. Implications for real-world applications in tourism, hospitality, and community development are also at the fore. The scholarship is comprehensive, not focused on only tourism or economic aspects. Management theory, including stakeholder management, social networks, and institutionalization processes is being applied. Attention is being given to the multiple roles festivals and events play in society, and to evaluation of their worth and impacts. Innovative methods are being developed to examine event experiences, innovation processes, and success factors. There is now a critical mass of scholars in the Nordic countries that share a strong interest in event studies, and they are engaged in collaborative research, making it an appealing and innovative region for other event students and researchers to visit. It can be expected that the Nordic school will take an increasingly important place in the development of event studies, which is now truly global in terms of scholarship and university degree programs. This book was originally published as a special issue of Scandinavian Journal of Hospitality and Tourism.
