Research Methods and Design in Sport Management (2nd Edition) by Damon P.S. Andrew, Paul M. Pedersen, and Chad D. McEvoy is an industry-specific textbook designed to guide students and practitioners through the research process within the sport management discipline. [1, 2]
The second edition is structured into comprehensive sections and includes foundational, core, and brand-new emerging topics specific to modern sport organizations: [1, 2]
Part I: Introduction to Research in Sport Management
- Research Concepts in Sport Management: Definitions of research, types of research (applied vs. basic), and various research traditions specific to the sport industry. [1, 2]
- Ethical Issues in Research: Protecting human subjects, adherence to ethical principles and guidelines, navigating the Institutional Review Board (IRB), obtaining informed consent, and understanding/avoiding scientific dishonesty. [1]
Part II: The Research Process
- Creation of Research Questions: Selecting a topic, conducting a thorough literature review, developing theoretical and conceptual frameworks, identifying variables, and formulating hypotheses. [1, 2]
- Research Design: Understanding different research design frameworks, sampling strategies, calculating sample sizes, addressing sampling errors, and ensuring reliability and validity. [1]
- Data Collection and Analysis: Managing nonresponse bias, preparing data for analysis, identifying levels of measurement, and utilizing both descriptive and inferential statistics to draw objective conclusions. [1]
Part III: Core Methodologies
- Quantitative Research: Techniques for designing, executing, and analyzing data driven by statistical and numerical models.
- Qualitative Research: Methods for collecting non-numerical, contextual insights (e.g., through interviews, observation, or text) to understand sport consumer or organizational behavior.
- Mixed-Methods Research: Combining quantitative and qualitative approaches to solve complex research problems within sport management.

- Social Network Analysis (SNA): Methods for collecting and interpreting relational data to understand connections between individuals or organizations in sport.
- Sport Analytics: Modern techniques for collecting, analyzing, and communicating performance or business data to drive data-driven decision-making in sport franchises and organizations. [1, 2]
Each chapter also incorporates a practical "Research Methods and Design in Action" feature, which highlights real-world case studies and published literature from the Journal of Sport Management to bridge academic principles with real-life industry applications. [1]
