European Sport Management Quarterly

The European Sport Management Quarterly (ESMQ) publishes articles that contribute to our understanding of how sport organizations are structured, managed, and operated. We also publish articles that enhance our understanding of the role of sport management and sport organizations in social life and the way social forces and social practices impact these organizations. We do not restrict the focus of articles to any particular type of sport organization, we are interested in public, voluntary, and commercial sport organizations, those which deal with amateur sport and those which deal with professional sport. Articles that deal with organizations that produce sport related commodities or service organizations in the sport industry are equally acceptable. We will also publish articles that examine the way in which non-sport organizations e.g. the state, regulatory bodies, sponsors, etc impact the structure and processes of sport organizations. While we welcome papers with a European perspective we do not confine our focus to any particular geographic area. We also support comparative studies and articles that adopt an international perspective.
