In light of the complex business needs of event organisations and in order to illustrate the concepts discussed, examples of case studies from the event sector are used throughout.Providing a comprehensive grounding in leadership theory, this book explores leadership in events from three distinct viewpoints using various event settings and types of events to illustrate:•"The leader" within event organisations: looking at leaders who are founders, or those that have been appointed, elected, evolved from other positions or emerged from a crisis – all of which have their own issues and effects.•Leadership within the events community, such as political leadership or leaders within event portfolios and networks. Questioning what does it take to achieve effective collaboration among events and between events and other key stakeholders? Is it the individual leader, or leadership that emerges from network dynamics?•The leadership role that events and professional organisations play in society, such as educational and inspirational leadership – looking at social marketing through events, with the aims of changing attitudes and behaviour.

Crowd Management - William O'toole - Bog - Goodfellow Publishers Limited - Plusbog.dk

This is the first text to present a system for crowd management which integrates security with the other concerns for the health and safety for crowds, looking at the theories and practices of the management processes, plans, monitoring and evaluation of crowds. The management of crowds in events and festivals is extremely complex as such situations are unpredictable. Whilst traditional planning is initially used, a fixed plan only works when the crowd is compliant. Every event management team now needs to understand the complexity, the decisions under uncertainty and the long tail risks in order to successfully plan and maintain optimum crowd safety.Structured into four sections (Risk, Management, Security and Health) with templates, explanation points and case studies throughout, each of the sections is written by experts who have global experience in their field of excellence.By William O’Toole, Events Management Specialist, Sydney, Australia with Dr Stephen Luke (Health) Senior Registrar, Team Rubicon Australia College of Intensive Care Medicine, Australia, Peter Ashwin (Security) Principal, Event Risk Management Solutions LLC, Idaho, USA, Dr Jason Brown (Risk) National Security Director, Thales Australia & New Zealand, and Andrew Tatrai (Crowds) Chairman (Non-Executive Director), Australian Concert and Entertainment SecurityThe Events Management Theory and Methods Series examines the extent to which mainstream theory is being employed to develop event-specific theory, and to influence the very core practices of event management and event tourism.

The Dark Side of Events - William O'toole - Bog - Goodfellow Publishers Limited - Plusbog.dk

The Dark Side of Events - William O'toole - Bog - Goodfellow Publishers Limited - Plusbog.dk

The events industry is a multi-million dollar fast-moving industry, ergo it is a key target for corruption. With multiple revenue sources, complex logistics, ,a strict deadline and the need for quick decision making, it is vital the organisers are fully aware of all ways and means events can leave themselves vulnerable. This new volume from William O’Toole , takes the reader through all the stages, identifying the ‘weak spots’ and opportunities, and advising how to identify and prevent corruption. His core thesis is that mega corruption is empowered and accepted when petty corruption abounds. Addressing the mega corruption of mega events, without minimising the smaller and highly distributed petty corruption, is less than a band aid. He believes preventing corruption in events is a matter of ethics from the ground up. Laws and compliance are necessary, but ultimately it depends on people, on trust and integrity.''The Dark Side of Events'' applies the advanced tools of risk management found in the International Standards ISO31010, 31000, 37001 to the prevention of corruption in events and includes a schema on how the text can be used as a training manual, teaching textbook and guide for events and event teams. The final chapter includes an ‘exposure to corruption assessment’ table. This provides events with a series of questions to assess their exposure to corruption. It will rate the event and event organisation and can be used in event tendering (bids) and proposals . International law increasingly requires all major companies, such as event sponsors, to only deal with other companies that have an anti-corruption policy. Written in a clear and user-friendly style, each chapter is designed to explore different aspects of the event process and where to be aware of risks of corruption. With over thirty real stories and examples from around the world, the reader will be fascinated by the depth and breadth of this dark side of events.Part of the Event Management Theory and Methods Series.

Event Impact Assessment - Professor Donald (professor Emeritus Getz - Bog - Goodfellow Publishers Limited - Plusbog.dk

Event Impact Assessment - Professor Donald (professor Emeritus Getz - Bog - Goodfellow Publishers Limited - Plusbog.dk

Impact assessment can be highly technical and complex, requiring a broad knowledge base and diverse skills, but like evaluation, it is a process fraught with philosophical, technical and political perils. Why is it done, by whom, and how, must be carefully planned. Impacts cannot always be ’proven’, so the nature of evidence becomes critical. Accordingly, a strong theoretical base is needed by all IA practitioners.Whilst economic impacts have received a great deal of attention, with sufficient material available to guide all applications, for social, cultural and environmental IA the theory and practice has lagged. In the context of Triple Bottom Line, social responsibility and sustainability approaches most of the available literature is on normative goals (such as going green, meeting sustainability standards), the nature of positive and negative impacts (a descriptive approach or based on public input), or theory about how impacts occur; very little theory development or praxis has been directed at impact assessment for these applied fields.In response to this lack of information, Event Impact Assessment is the first text to: •Develop professionalism for IA and evaluation in these applied management fields.•Position impact assessment within sustainability and responsibility paradigms.•Recommend goals, methods and measures for planning, evaluation and impact assessment pertaining to events and tourism.•Encourage the adoption of standard methods and key performance indicators in evaluation and impact assessment in order to facilitate valid comparisons, benchmarking, reliable forecasts, transparency and accountability.•Provide concepts and models that can be adapted to diverse situations.•Connect readers to the research literature through use of Research Notes and provision of additional readings.This text also works well as a companion text to Event Evaluation: Theory and methods for event management and tourism. The Events Management Theory and Methods Series examines the extent to which mainstream theory is being employed to develop event-specific theory, and to influence the very core practices of event management and event tourism. Each compact volume contains overviews of mainstream management theories and methods, examples from the events literature, case studies, and guidance on all aspects of planned-event management. They introduce the theory, show how it is being used in the events sector through a literature review, incorporate examples and case studies written by researchers and/or practitioners, and contain methods that can be used effectively in the real world. Series editor: Donald Getz.With online resource material, this mix-and-match collection is ideal for lecturers who need theoretical foundations and case studies for their classes, by students in need of reference works, by professionals wanting increased understanding alongside practical methods, and by agencies or associations that want their members and stakeholders to have access to a library of valuable resources.
