edited by Harry Arne Solberg (Professor of Sports Economics, NTNU Business School, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway), Rasmus K. Storm (Head of Research, Danish Institute for Sports Studies, Denmark and Adjunct Associate Professor, NTNU Business School, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway), and Kamilla Swart (Associate Professor and Program Director of the Masters in Sport and Entertainment Management, Division of Engineering Management and Decision Sciences, College of Science and Engineering, Hamad Bin Khalifa University, Doha, Qatar)

"Presenting a comprehensive and pragmatic view on challenges around sporting events, this timely Research Handbook examines the hosting of major sporting events and the impacts they can have on stakeholders. Looking beyond the host destination, it provides a wealth of conceptual analysis on the organisation and administration of such events, including the bidding process, planning, management, sponsorship issues, and marketing. Multidisciplinary in nature, this Research Handbook features contributions from eminent academics, offering insights into some of the largest international sporting events, and analysing their expected and actual outcomes. Adopting both short-run and long-run perspectives, contributors explore the diverse monetary and non-monetary impacts of major sporting events and how these can be shaped by a wide range of factors, including the cultures in which stakeholders live and operate. Outlining a nuanced range of international perspectives on major sporting events, this Research Handbook presents state-of-the-art research and will appeal to students and researchers across sports, economic sociology, social policy, and economics and finance. It will also serve as a valuable tool for sports managers, stakeholders, and practitioners interested in event hostship"--
