This course is designed to introduce students to the terms, concepts and issues in sports management and their practical application in the sports business workplace. It is the required first class for every student in Columbia University’s graduate Sports Management Program. This course examines various business disciplines as they apply to the sports industry. The course provides the student with an overview of the business of the intercollegiate and professional sports enterprises. In addition, the course investigates the business-related issues encountered by managers of sport organizations and covers how business principles can be applied to effectively address these issues.
