Reshaping Europe’s sport and leisure industry

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings Businesses operating in the sport and leisure industry can meet growing demands for sustainable operations by increasing gender diversity in the boardroom. Appointing female directors better positions them to meet corporate social responsibility (CSR) obligations and manage risk more efficiently, both of which have positive implications for their financial performance. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
