Book SynopsisIn an era where services play an increasingly vital role in servicified global value chains, this insightful book provides a comprehensive study of legal aspects of rules of origin for services and their importance in international trade. The author identifies and examines the defects in the current approach to rules of origin for services through an astute analysis of these rules in the General Agreement on Trade in Services and in preferential trade agreements. In addition, by asserting that trade in goods and trade in services cannot be separated, the author provides a comparative analysis of rules of origin in these two fields, offering a better understanding of their boundaries and connections. Paving the way for further development, the author concludes that certain aspects of rules of origin for goods, such as the product-based approach, may be repurposed for services. Addressing an area of rule making insufficiently explored to date, this book will prove important reading for students and scholars of international trade, economics, and governance. The focus on new patterns of international trade will also benefit trade experts, policy makers and businesses.Trade Review'The book not only provides insights into rules of origin for services, but also makes a comparative analysis with rules of origin for goods. Considering the crucial role of services in global value chains and emerging trends in international trade and production, understanding rules of origin for services will become important to understand rules of origin for goods.' --Giorgio Sacerdoti, Emeritus Professor of International and European Law, Bocconi University, Italy and former Member and Chairman of the WTO Appellate Body'This thoroughly-researched and forward-looking publication fills in a major research gap and will provide an extremely useful resource for scholars, negotiators and trade practitioners interested in defining rules of origin for services. Considering the growing and central role of services in global value chains, the origin of service providers will undoubtedly become a major focus of attention in the negotiation of international preferential trade agreements and international trade disputes.' --Darlan Marti, Secretary, WTO Committee on Rules of OriginTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Book SynopsisExploring why professional team sport clubs are almost always able to survive despite financial mismanagement, inflated player salaries and persistent deficits, this book provides new evidence on how to explain this phenomenon. It looks at the context in which many clubs operate – the soft budget constraint – and how the clubs in this respect resemble state-owned enterprises in socialist countries or big banks in financial crises.Chapters discuss the challenge of hardening the budget constraint, including UEFA’s Financial Fair Play regulation. They include new data about the soft budget constraint phenomenon, including evidence from Central and Eastern Europe. Leading scholars in the field develop the theoretical approach to the topic using institutional theory, dialogue with critics and discussions on the merits and limits of soft budgets. The book also investigates key case studies of bailouts and liquidation of professional sports teams.This will be an invigorating read for scholars and students of sports economics and sports management. It will also be helpful to managers and directors in professional sports clubs looking for a better understanding of the soft budget constraint.Trade Review‘A new strand of literature has developed which applies the soft budget constraints approach to the problems encountered in the European sports industry. Some of the most important authors of this new field, but also a prominent critic, have contributed to this volume, which is a highly recommended read for sports economists and sports managers.’ -- Egon Franck, University of Zurich, Switzerland‘The concept of the soft budget constraint was first developed by the Hungarian economist Janos Kornai in relation to the planned economies of Eastern Europe. More recently, the concept has been applied to professional team sports in Western as well as Eastern Europe, based on the notion that clubs frequently become insolvent and have to be bailed out by external benefactors. This is consistent with win maximisation models with a tendency to overinvest in players (see in particular the chapters by Wladimir Andreff and Stefan Szymanski). Despite the fact that the book is almost wholly devoted to professional football it is a very useful starting point for those sports economists and others wishing to become familiar with the concept.’ -- Peter J.

Book SynopsisThe Adventure Tourist: Being, Knowing, Becoming brings together two broad areas of academic inquiry – adventure tourism and hospitality studies. In situating the adventure tourist within social, cultural, political, and geographic contexts, The Adventure Tourist considers the adventure experience and offers new ways in which this can be more deeply analysed and interpreted. Focused on the personal tourist experience and what it means to seek adventure through tourism in an uncertain and troubled world, Farkić and Gebbels question the dynamic interactions in modern commodified adventure tourism practice. By questioning hospitality services through philosophical and sociological concepts, focus is maintained on the agency of the individual, bringing into discussion the senses, emotions, and desires of those who consume outdoor spaces globally. The Adventure Tourist responds to the requirements of the outdoor adventure industry today and considers how engagement with theory can inform, challenge and support real-world scenarios in this sector.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Book SynopsisIf Design is about forming materials, then what are the materials of Service Design? In this ground-breaking book, Johan Blomkvist, Simon Clatworthy and Stefan Holmlid explore this question by establishing a discourse around the materials of service design, discussing materials as a means to study what service design is and could be.Exploring the contours and foundations of the field, this innovative book redefines the material and opens with an investigation of how service has been understood as a material in design. With insights from expert practitioners in the field, chapters then examine a vast library of materials, including social structures, touch-points, thinking, culture, time, organisations, conversations, data, human bodies and more. Making sense of this material mix, the book delves into the material of the immaterial and displays the diversified and expansive field of service design today. In doing so, it forms a starting point to go beyond reductionist ideas of the material-immaterial dichotomy and makes room for new constructivist perspectives.Contributing to the development of education within service design, this insightful book will be invaluable for practitioners and course leaders looking to navigate a new path to service design. Founded in design as a knowledge intensive practice, it will also be transformative for the research of students and scholars of marketing, service design, design theory, and innovation studies.Trade Review‘Fundamentally, designers should understand the materials with which they work, how they fit together and interact. The Materials of Service Design is at once rigorous, readable and practically applicable. It is essential reading for anyone working in the field, valuable to practitioners and academics alike.’ -- Andy Polaine, Design Leadership Coach‘Finally demystified, with rigor and clarity! This book offers the most crystalized and designerly understanding of the persistent question around Service Design, “what to design with and for”. This book will redefine what you think you know about Service Design and bring new dimensions to disciplinary and professional identities and educational visions of Service Design. A must-read for anyone who wishes to do Service Design rightly.’ -- Jung Joo Lee, National University of SingaporeTable of ContentsContents: Preface ix Prologue: defining material xiii Part 1 Introduction: something made the object of study 1 The move away from matter in art and design 2 The core of design is in the making 3 Representations in service design 4 Service as material 5 Cultural bodies empowered to perform services: a critical perspective Part 2 The constituents of which something is composed 1 Introduction to a library of materials 2 Social structures 3 Touch-points as a material 4 Thinking: an underexplored service design material 5 Culture as a material Interlude 1: Materiality in design from a practitioner perspective: interview with Markus Edgar Hormeß, Adam Lawrence and Marc Stickdorn (26 April 2022) 6 Time, timing, time-ing 7 Organisations as material 8 Conversations as a service design material 9 Ritual: meaningful material for service design 10 Certainty and its artefacts Interlude 2: Expertise as material of service design: interview with Lavrans Løvlie (2 December 2021) 11 Collaborations 12 Behaviour as service design material 13 Experience as a material 14 Data matter: as data become matter, design matters 15 Clay: a tangible catalyst Interlude 3: Data as material of services 16 Human bodies 17 Sound 18 The service offering as a material 19 Policy, governance Part 3 Qualities by which something may be categorised 1 Making sense of a material mix 2 Categorisation of materials as a way of understanding their characteristics 3 Addressing the material mix: service as hypermaterial 4 Layered materials and layered materiality 5 A move towards a framework for materials Part 4 A performer’s repertoire (the service designer’s material) 1 Aesthetics in service design 2 Service phantasms 3 Service and design as bricolage and rhizomes 4 Returning to the foundational question Index

Book SynopsisThis groundbreaking Research Handbook adeptly navigates how gender and diversity are addressed in sport management. Offering insight into practices and processes that work to exclude certain groups and practices, and favour others, it highlights how gendered ways of organizing sport are experienced and may be sustained, disrupted, and challenged.Leading international scholars employ theoretical frameworks to comprehensively set out how individuals or groups engaged in leading and managing sport are situated in the social world and engage in managerial practices. Providing a wealth of conceptual analyses, the authors of the various chapters explore diverse feminist theories, perspectives, and methodologies to expertly examine gender-based marginalization in sport management at local and international levels. Expert contributors reveal how women negotiate and navigate gender and intersecting identity categories in sport organizations.Presenting a wide variety of feminist perspectives on sport management, sport organizations, and coaching, this Research Handbook will prove a valuable resource to researchers and undergraduate and postgraduate students in the fields of sport management and sport sociology. It will also be essential reading for policy makers working in sport organizations.Trade Review‘In the Research Handbook on Gender and Diversity in Sport Management, Markula and Knoppers provide an insightful and encompassing overview of the topic that is impressive in scope and quality.

Book SynopsisIn this unique book, Sten Söderman explores the prospect of China reaching its goal of hosting the 2050 World Cup. Söderman takes into consideration China’s size, resources, traditions and political system to ask what needs to be done and how.The book assesses football in China today, discussing the main driving forces behind the development of football in China, and offering an analysis of its organizational structure, strengths, regulations, and weaknesses. Taking a comparative approach, Söderman asks if China should simply adopt the European model of football, including values and skills, through imported players and coaches, or if it is better for China to forge its own path by building on its traditions and limiting the possibility of investing in foreign players, coaches and foreign football clubs. Looking to the future, the book outlines new models and tools to analyse the footballization of China. Söderman concludes with the argument that grassroots activity is the most critical factor in the development of football in China.Examining if a strategic management mix will help China win the 2050 World Cup, this book will be a valuable resource for scholars and students of sport management and Asian business studies.Trade Review‘Football in China has always been something of an enigma, especially over the last decade. Often under researched and misunderstood, Söderman's text lifts the veil on recent developments using an appropriately rigorous analytical approach. This is an important book that will appeal to researchers and fans alike.’ -- Simon Chadwick, Skema Business School, FranceTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Book SynopsisOffering a cutting-edge analysis of competitive balance and outcome uncertainty, this book explores the topic from multiple perspectives. Chapters address competitive balance and outcome uncertainty in different sports in a range of countries to help understand its significance. Highlighting important new insights into previously unexplored dimensions, the book also provides a rich context for better understanding why fans, teams and leagues value competitive balance. It challenges readers to think about the topic in a broad and rigorous way, and in some cases to question widely held beliefs about how outcome uncertainty motivates competitive balance and how sports fans actually view competitive balance. Key case studies and the use of new data in the chapters makes this an interesting read for sports economics researchers and students looking for current analysis of the topic. Managers of sports organizations will also appreciate the insights that the book gives into what their customers value. Contributors include: A. Barajas, O. Budzinski, D. Coates, J. del Corral, A.

Book SynopsisEducation Matters presents in one volume many of Alan B. Krueger's contributions to the economics of education. This invaluable collection of papers, based on his groundbreaking research from the 1990s, has been published in a wide range of professional outlets and has influenced public policy and research in the US and throughout the world.The book opens with an introductory essay explaining the importance of the study of the economics of education as well as providing an overview of the book. The author then goes on to discuss and analyse the important topics in the economics of education, including the economic pay off from attending school for longer, the return to investments in school resources, causes of the increased pay off to education, the contribution of education to economic growth, and racial differences in school quality and their consequences. The final chapter provides a framework for evaluating schools.This fascinating collection of work, from a writer at the forefront of economics and educational research, will be warmly welcomed by academics in the areas of human capital, economics and public policy, as well as by educational policymakers.Trade Review'Education Matters is a one-volume collection of the most important economics of education papers by the Princeton economist Alan Krueger, one of the most promising economists of the generation. It is fitting that Edward Elgar should publish this volume in their series Economists of the Twentieth Century as his work has been very influential in the field in the 1990s. . . Many of the papers are published in the most prominent journals like the Quarterly Journal of Economics, but several were originally published in more diverse outlets and are therefore more difficult to obtain. In this sense, this collection of papers is a valuable addition to any library. . . The most creditable aspect of Krueger's work is that he has been brave enough to tackle most of the major policy questions relating to the economics of education. . . I would like to recommend this book as an excellent introduction to the economics of education that addresses many of the main questions of policy relevance in the field.' -- P. Dolton, Education Economics'The book, Education Matters, by Alan Krueger presents a useful collection of his essays. . .' -- John Mace, Higher Education Review'. . . likely to be a useful volume. Firstly, the articles span the very short period from 1991 to 1999, giving readers a good insight into Krueger's research agenda. Secondly, they are very closely related to each other, and therefore provide an in-depth knowledge of the topic . . . I am very pleased to have been asked to review this book; both because I have gained a very broad view of the topic with plenty of insight into the minute details of the mechanism of applied research into the economics of education . . . and I am sure I will have constant opportunity to consult it in the course of my own research.' -- Gianni de Fraja, The Economic Journal'Alan Krueger has made a rich contribution to economics of education. Education Matters represents some of his most important recent research. It also presents a rich blend of methodological and empirical aspects. It includes fifteen of his most important contributions. . . The volume provides in one place some of the best research of Krueger. It covers a wide range of important issues in economics of education. . . it is a rich collection that gives a high flavour of the nature and direction of growth of economics of education in the 1990s. Beyond doubt, it stands as a major contribution to the literature on economics of education, that one would desire to have in their bookshelf as a handy valuable reference volume.' -- Jandhyala B.G.

Book SynopsisTourism is the world's largest industry and its fastest growing one. It has the potential to contribute significantly to the economic development of most economies, including those of less developed countries and peripheral economic regions. However, it depends heavily on environmental conditions, natural and man-made, for its market and its sustainability. This book analyzes market and political failures in relation to tourism development and the environment, and the implications of those for national gains from international tourism, for public finance and policy, and for the sustainability of tourism. Particular emphasis is placed on ecotourism and the sustainable use of natural sites, methods of evaluating the sustainability of tourism and the impacts of pollution on tourism. Case studies cover both large and small developing countries e.g. Bangladesh, Brazil, China, India and the Maldives, as well as more developed economies. While some attention is given to the evaluation of protected areas, most attention is given to policies in terms of the sustainable recreational use of such areas - examples include scuba diving and encounters of tourists with whale sharks and sea turtles. This is a fascinating book that will be of great use to a wide readership including economists, environmentalists, geographers, tourism scholars and professionals, as well as academics in development studies.Trade Review'. . . the book presents a compendium of experience drawn from several continents, including the island states and, in contrast to other tourism books, emphasizes the economic aspects in a very simple and practical manner with many pointers for policymakers, economic planners, environment managers, and so on.' -- Rolph A.

Book SynopsisDuring the 1990s the gambling industry transformed its image by referring to itself as the 'gaming industry'. While critics of the industry scoffed at this transformation as merely a meaningless name change, it has had profound effects on the business and public policies that face the newly transformed gaming industry.The book is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on the historical and cultural forces that have shaped the new gaming industry. Emphasis is placed on the two types of games (agon - games of skill, and alea - games of chance). It is shown that the types of games a society embraces have a significant impact on whether gambling is permitted to enter the mainstream of the entertainment industry.The second part of the book analyzes how each segment (pari-mutuel betting, lotteries and casinos) competes in the new industry. The political and social implications of gaming are the focus of the final part, which concludes with a series of recommendations that will enable the industry, public policy officials and anti-gambling activists to construct policies that mitigate some of the problems associated with gambling.The book will be of particular interest to students, practitioners and scholars in public policy. It will also be pertinent to readers in economics, political science and business.Table of ContentsContents: Preface Part I: From Gambling to Gaming 1. A Brief History of US Gambling 2.

Book SynopsisThe economic and social impact of international education is substantial with many educational institutions now dependent on the recruitment of overseas students for their survival. The authors of The Global Market for Higher Education discuss this industry from a strategic and services marketing perspective and suggest a model to explain how to obtain and maintain a competitive advantage. The book draws on more than ten years of research with students and educational institutions in a number of countries, using both secondary and primary data to develop the model. The results presented suggest that an institution's internal resources are key determinants of its appropriate strategy. The authors also suggest that decision makers and education marketers take account of the appropriate market literature when developing international plans and considering new international markets.This book will prove a valuable contribution to the literature and resources for academics and students, university and college administrators, government officials and policy makers focused on higher education as well as recruitment and marketing offices of higher education institutions themselves.Trade Review'This clearly written book offers a sharp perspective on the global market for higher education. The focus on current providers and hosts enables the authors to provide practical and well informed advice on issues that are of importance for higher education administrators and the recruitment offices of universities.' -- James Porter, Higher Education Review'Mazzarol and Soutar's valuable book prompts us to think carefully about what makes for an internationally competitive university sector.' -- Christopher Pokarier, Policy'I have enjoyed reading your new book. This is an excellent application of strategic principles to the marketing of international education. It is a very insightful perspective on the future of global education. The strategic implications for universities competing in this rapidly changing and diverse landscape are highlighted and addressed with direct simplicity. I especially appreciated the theoretical foundations for the model of sustainable advantage backed up by empirical verification.' -- Bill Jolley, University of Western AustraliaTable of ContentsContents: Foreword by Don Smart 1.

Book SynopsisThe economics of sport exploded onto the academic teaching and research scene in the 1990s. This decade of intellectual effervescence is encapsulated in this state-of-the-art collection which reprints both classic work and more recent papers which may achieve classic status in the future. Andrew Zimbalist - widely recognised to be the leading authority in the field - has prepared a selection of articles which mark an important milestone in the development of sports economics. It will be an essential source of reference to a rapidly growing and widely dispersed literature.Trade Review‘The Economics of Sport pulls together the key contributions to this growing sub-discipline over the last fifty years. The sports industry has a peculiar economics, first recognised by Rottenberg in his path-breaking article on the labour market in baseball published in 1956. Since then a number of economists have analysed the various aspects of the sports industry but their work has not received the attention it deserves. This two-volume collection will help redress the balance and put the economics of sport in its rightful place as an important sub-discipline in economics. The Economics of Sport is a one-stop guide to understanding one of the most important industries in the modern economy.' -- Bill Gerrard, Leeds University Business School, UKTable of ContentsContents: Volume I: Acknowledgements Introduction Andrew Zimbalist PART I THEORY OF SPORTS LEAGUES 1.

Book SynopsisProblems arise if budgets for services are held constant whilst prices rise. Education, cultural activities and health services are under constant budgetary pressure. The authors argue that the price of commodities is linked to demand and price increases would therefore seem to threaten the very existence of these services. The paradox of these services is that in spite of their exploding costs, demand persists.Policymakers struggle with the problematic question of whether to limit public service budgets as costs for their provision rise. The service sectors of advanced economies are surprisingly vigorous - the employment of an ever increasing share of the labour force is one phenomenon. Economists are perplexed by the interplay of slow service and fast goods productivity growth and wonder why the demand for services is so persistent. The Growth of Service Industries is intended for use by both policymakers and economists and serves as a useful introduction to service productivity analysis.Trade Review'This stimulating book . . . is largely devoted to these two paradoxes, with a particular focus on the second one.' -- Jean Gadrey, The Service Industries Journal'. . . the main benefit of The Growth of Service Industries is that it deals with one of the key issues in the modern economy. Policymakers struggle with the problematic question of whether to limit public service budgets as costs for their provision rise.

Book SynopsisThe market for residential solid waste management and disposal has experienced dramatic changes over the past 20 years. This collection of outstanding published research examines these changes and thoroughly analyzes the strategies popularized by municipal governments over the past two decades.Kerbside recycling, unheard of in the 1970s, is currently available to 46% of Americans. Thousands of towns across the nation have also implemented user fees requiring households to pay a fee for every bag of garbage they generate. These policy shifts have attracted the attention of environmental economists interested in knowing the best strategy for managing solid waste. The editors, both long-time scholars of these trends, offer theoretical solutions for the optimal pricing of garbage and recycling collection. They provide original data collection and suggest appropriate econometric techniques that correct for statistical biases. A policy focus provides information relevant to municipal governments as well as researchers.This excellent volume will be useful for policymakers, students and scholars in environmental economics.Trade Review'This is a wide-ranging, careful use of economic analysis to shed light on an important environmental problem. Its value stems not only from its contribution to the specific policy issue it addresses, but also as a broader illustration of how good economic research can inform policy. Readers will be rewarded with a host of intriguing (and sometimes provocative) new insights.' -- From the foreword by Tom Tietenberg, Colby College, USTable of ContentsContents: Foreword by Tom Tietenberg 1.
