Reviews

Based on the notion that sport management and marketing theories developed in the West may not be applicable in Asia because of cultural and historical differences, scholars of sport and business describe such strategies from the Asian perspective. The topics include a path analysis model of the relationship between event involvement and sponsor recall, the influence of sports fan ethnocentrism on major league baseball game viewing behavior in Korea and Taiwan, taekwondo as an example of promoting an Asian sport to the world, the pioneers from Singapore hosting the Youth Olympic Games, and incorporating environmental protection into the Beijing Olympics.
