* Position impact assessment within sustainability and responsibility paradigms.

* 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 co
