The sport industry is one of the most influenced areas by COVID19, and there is a wide range of issues to address given the global threat to sport products/services and organizations (Byers et al., 2021). Impacts of COVID19 on sport industry in general and on how sport businesses are managed urge us to rethink sustainability of sport management.
Sport management scholars have mainly focused on environmental aspects of sustainability. However, the conceptualization of sustainability should be enriched by including economic, environmental, social, individual, and ethical aspects (Gassler et al., 2016) to provide meaningful insight into the sport industry in this unprecedented era. In line with this notion, this special issue aims to seek theoretical and practical investigation of sustainability in the field of sport management. Specifically, this special issue calls for research which are related to, but are not limited to:
-
-
- Sustainability in sport marketing and consumer behavior
- Sustainability in sport economics
- Sustainability in sport administration and policy
- Sustainability in sport tourism
- Sustainability in sport events
- Sustainability in sport facilities
- Sustainability in physical activity and healthcare
- Theoretical/critical review on the study of sustainability in sport management
