Examining the lived experience of C- Suite executives, contributors analyse how this relates to existing research, seeking to inform and challenge those individuals responsible for identification, recruitment and promotion of C- Suite sports industry personnel. The book's findings have far reaching implications for analysis of C- Suite effectiveness and efficiency across sporting sectors.
