This book represents a landmark effort to bring into focus the moral and ethical issues associated with the management of sport and sport organisations. Within a sport context Joy DeSensi and Danny Rosenberg have critically examined a view shared by virtually all business managers and scholars -- that ethics and morality in management is not only good for all concerned but a necessity in terms of the bottom line.
