Call for Papers: ESMQ 2014, Special Issue -Value Co-Creation in Sport Management

You are invited to participate in the debate over "Value Co-Creation in Sport Management". We think that this topic is of high interest, because academia and practice are increasingly recognising the significance of customers and other firms (service networks) for the creation of high quality products and services in the area of sport management. This is why, "Value Co-Creation in Sport Management" is the topic of the Special Issue of European Sport Management Quarterly (ESMQ; 2011 Impact Factor 0.875) in 2014. We invite everybody who is interested in this area of research (e.g. cooperation and competition in sport management, cultures of consumption and sport brand communities, fan behaviour, alliances and networks, relationships and relationship marketing, and all related areas) to submit a paper to the ESMQ 2014 Special Issue.
