Overview

The module sets out to allow students to primarily understand leisure as a business which requires a range of
management issues to be considered such as planning and development and the framework in which it
operates at different geographical scales (global, national and local level as a business). The module will also
examine operational issues associated with leisure and a range of financial and governance issues are
addressed using principles and case studies to illustrate their significance. The module uses the example of
events to exemplify the role of management in terms of strategy, impacts and planning outcomes in the
context of mega events such as the Olympics. A range of contemporary issues in leisure management will also
be addressed (e.g. gaming, betting and casinos to illustrate the role of sport as entertainment).
