We invite submissions for a Special Issue on sport finance, exploring diverse topics at the intersection of economics, management, and business operations within the sports industry. This Special Issue aims to delve into various aspects of financial management, economics, and strategic decision making in sports organizations, offering insights into current trends and emerging challenges.
Potential research topics include the impact of major sporting events on local economies, financial management strategies of professional sports teams, sports sponsorship and branding, ticket pricing and revenue optimization, media rights and broadcasting contracts, stadium financing and public funding, player contracts and salary cap management, sports betting and gambling economics, the financial performance of sports organizations, and emerging trends in sports finance.
We encourage submissions of original research articles, case studies, and theoretical papers that advance our understanding of the complexities and dynamics of sport finance. Join us in contributing to this vibrant and evolving field of study.
