This book is the first volume to bring together a majority of the academic research and knowledge on the economics and management of professional road cycling. Each chapter treats a particular economic aspect of the sport, from organizational structure to marketing, labor, game theory, and competitive balance. By discussing the existing research and complementing it with the newest concepts, ideas and data on professional road cycling, this book sets an agenda for further academic research while providing insights for all stakeholders in cycling: governments, cycling's governing bodies, team managers, race organizers, sponsors, media. Furthermore, the unique characteristics of the sport of cycling explored within this text inform broader management and industrial organization research, as they extend analyses of team labor, broadcast revenue generation, and sponsorship financing models. This book is equally of interest to academic researchers, students studying sports economics, and policy makers, such as race organizers, team managers, and sponsors. 000752033 650_0 $$aCycling$$xEconomic aspects. 000752033 650_0 $$aBicycle racing. 000752033 7001_ $$aReeth, Daam Van,$$eeditor. 000752033 7001_ $$aLarson, Daniel Joseph,$$eeditor. 000752033 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3319223119$$z9783319223117$$w(OCoLC)913557134 000752033 830_0 $$aSports economics, management, and policy ;$$vv. 11. 000752033 852__ $$bebk 000752033 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-22312-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000752033 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:752033$$pGLOBAL_SET 000752033 980__ $$aEBOOK 000752033 980__ $$aBIB 000752033 982__ $$aEbook 000752033 983__ $$aOnline 000752033 994__ $$a92$$bISE
