An introduction to the theory and practice of sports marketing, with particular emphasis on the New Zealand situation.

The marketing of such activity has increasingly become a specialised field in its own right. The industry is growing rapidly following the global changes in lifestyle trends, and therefore, there are growing job opportunities for marketers in this field.
