| Name | Resource Guide to The Impact of Events |
| Description | Extract from introduction, "As the Event Management industry has grown it has emerged as an academic discipline with an increasing number of undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Event managers must consider the impacts of an event throughout each stage of the planning process and beyond. Event impacts also tax the minds of funding organisations and policy makers in order to justify public spending on events and to justify any negative externalities. The majority of bids for large-scale events such as the London 2012 Olympics are now won on the regeneration opportunities which hosting the event will offer. Thus, events management literature, especially in the academic journals, has tended to be dominated by studies of event impacts.
This guide aims to direct tutors, students and researchers to the key texts, journal articles and web-resources in order that they might unravel the diversity of event impacts and their interrelationships. Given the inherent research nature of assessing event impacts much of the literature on this topic is based in research journals rather than text books. Therefore the content of some of the material listed in this resource guide may be more appropriate to final year undergraduate and postgraduate students rather than first and second year undergraduates. However, many of the standard events management text books cover event impacts. These texts are listed at the start of the bibliography and provide an accessible resource for undergraduate students."
