Editorial Objectives

Sport, Business and Management: An International Journal (SBM) serves to promote the development of a coherent, high-quality body of work in sport, business and management, an area that has until now been largely overlooked by academia despite being one of the few industries to warrant its own daily section in most newspapers.

Editorial Criteria

The journal publishes a range of high-quality academic papers including conceptual and empirical, as well as case studies, critical analyses, academic commentaries, opinion pieces, book reviews, conference reports, interviews with practitioners, and resource reviews.
Submissions will be expected to use sporting examples and concepts to illustrate management theory; use management theories and concepts to investigate sport; and address management problems and issues in a sporting context. Submissions using both quantitative and qualitative approaches are welcomed.

Scope/Coverage

The coverage of the journal includes, but is not limited to:

• Sport, business and management; strategy; accounting and finance; economics; marketing; human resources; IT; law; supply chain management and international business
• Corporate social responsibility and ethics; entrepreneurship and governance; organisational behaviour in the sport industry
• Professional sport; global sport; elite sport; amateur sport; and grassroots sport
• Fans and customers; athletes and coaches; clubs and teams
• Leagues and competitions; events and tournaments; stadiums and venues
• Commercial and non-commercial partners; governing bodies and representative associations; intermediaries and athlete representatives
• Suppliers, retailers and other outlets for sport
• Traditional and new media outlets
• Places and spaces; local economic, social and other relevant projects/initiatives.

Key Benefits

• SBM has a unique focus on business and management in sport that publishes papers from authors at mainstream business schools
• SBM bridges the gap between existing academic research on sports business and relevant practitioner issues in the industry through its mixture of article content.

Key Journal Audiences
