| Tóm tắt: | When conceptualizing this book, the editors
made a point to identify the key themes of the
prevailing research literature in events and
recognized the need to highlight the seminal
literature and theoretical frameworks under-
pinning primary research in this growing
subject area (e.g. Richards and Palmer, 2010;
Foley et al., 2011; Getz, 2012). Broadly, this is
an events management book framed in a
research context drawing social scientifi c
approaches. It dif ers from other subject-specifi c
books by not focusing on operations or manage-
ment but rather on theoretical frameworks
illustrated through case studies. The goal is to
shine a brighter spotlight on research, bringing
it to the forefront of the discussion in the events
management fi eld. This is neither a research
methods text nor a business text but rather a
text for the events researcher to use as a guide
for comprehending what are the particular
challenges of conducting primary research in
this fi eld. As events research encompasses
cross-disciplinary perspectives, drawing from
tourism, leisure, cultural studies, urban
geography, sociology, marketing and other
social science and management discourses,
not all of the divergent themes that events
researchers pursue could be included. The
editors, therefore, purposefully selected the
themes for this book to present a consistency
and coherence that many edited books lack. |
