Summary: "It has been over 20 years since the first edition of Productive Management of Leisure Service Organizations was conceptualized, written, and published. Now in it's fourth edition, Managing Recreation, Parks, and Leisure Services considers three critical changes in the leisure services field: technology and information resolution, nature of the workforce, and the basic revision of our economy. These changes have greatly impacted the management of human resources, which is the main focus of this book."--Publisher's website.
