Summary "Leisure Services Management prepares students for the challenges they'll face as entry-level recreation and leisure managers. The text begins by presenting a firm foundation of competency-based management theory. Students will learn what management is, what the manager's role is, and how their work affects their agency and their customers. They will also explore specific management areas, such as marketing, financial management, human resources, employee development, communication, and evaluation."
