This summer, Professor McDonnell will be teaching “The Business of Baseball,” a new, one-week intensive course designed for those who have a genuine interest in analyzing business strategies and practices that impact our national pastime. Offered June 22–26, 2009 in midtown Manhattan, the curriculum covers critical topics in the business of baseball “off the field” – financing and business models, unionization and collective bargaining, player valuations and procurement, the impact of the recession on luxury suites and season tickets, and much more.
