Review: "Many books exist on various aspects of event management, reflecting growing academic and professional interest, but there has not been a book written on Event Studies until now As the event management field expands, there is a growth in demand for advanced texts, particularly with a multidisciplinary research and theoretical orientation. Event Studies is the first text to embrace this new direction in the field of event management."--BOOK JACKET.
