Organizational Communication and Sport

""Organizational Communication and Sport is an essential compendium focused on the at-times overlooked (but vitally important) area of the communication that is done within, by, and through sport organizations. Led by one of our field's leading scholars, Sanderson has assembled a notable collection of 21 scholars who cover a wide variety of organizational topics (whistleblowing, technology, culture, mental health, leadership, law, marketing, etc.). This collection is a valuable, timely, and quality contribution to the body of knowledge in sport communication."" --Paul M. Pedersen, Professor of Sport Management, Indiana University Bloomington, USA ""Through a varied set of cross-disciplinary voices this volume effectively represents the traditional mechanisms of communication in organizations with coverage spanning whistleblowing, socialization, organizational culture, leadership, and sexual harassment and provides important insight into how these phenomena play out in sport organizations. It also effectively tackles current and contemporary issues like athlete abuse, athlete mental health, social justice, and sports betting that have become pronounced concerns that sports organizations must manage communicatively. Through ample examples and appropriate case studies, contributors to the volume effectively address the current state of affairs at the intersection of sport and organizational communication."" --Jeffrey W. Kassing, Professor of Communication Studies, Arizona State University, USA
