Chapter Chapter 1 in Football Management, 2010, pp 9-18 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract At its inaugural League Managers’ Association Management Conference, successful football managers including Iain Dowie and Stuart Pearce identified a range of lessons which sport can learn from business — such as long-term strategic planning, goal setting and the value of personal development. Conversely, there are also valuable lessons which business can learn from sport. Among these Iain Dowie includes the fact that sports stars and managers learn how to operate in pressurized situations, have excellent understanding of how teams work and they work in the ultimate results business (Bill Wilson, “Boardroom lessons for the dugout”, BBC Website: http://news.bbc.co.uk /1/hi/business/8278449).
