Functional area considerations (e.g., sport, protocol, security and risk management)
Games-time considerations
Ceremonies
Legacy and sustainability.
Each chapter contains a unique combination of theory, practical decision-making exercises and case studies of major sports events from around the world, helping students and practitioners alike to understand and prepare for the reality of executing major events on an international scale.
