Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Sport Entrepreneurship and Innovation
Vanessa Ratten · 2016
63/100
👎 Skip It
This is a fun niche if you're into both sports and business — the chapters cover everything from athlete entrepreneurs to how tech has reshaped how we watch and play sports. It's put together by a solid international group of scholars, but it reads like the academic text it is, with limited direct takeaways if you're not already in sport management. Good for the right student, not for the casual sports fan.
