From the supplier: The studies that validated the use of the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI) in the fields of sports and exercise failed to consider the cognitive evaluation theory and effectively support the hierarchical model. The intrinsic motivation model should have been based on perceived locus of causality measurements. Furthermore, the IMI suffers from a range conceptual and operational problems.

Industry Risk Ratings Synopsis

This Industry Risk Ratings report from IBISWorld evaluates the inherent risks associated with the Racing & Other Spectator Sports in the US industry. Industry Risk is assumed to be 'the difficulty, or otherwise, of the business operating environment'.

The report looks at the operational risk associated with this industry. Three types of risk are recognized in our analysis. These are: risk arising from within the industry itself (structural risk), risks arising from the expected future performance of the industry (growth risk) and risk arising from forces external to the industry (external sensitivity risk).

This approach is new in that it analyses non-financial information surrounding each industry. Industries are scored on a 9-point scale, where 1 represents the lowest risk and 9 the highest. The Industry Risk score measures expected Industry Risk over the coming 12-18 months.

Industry Definition

This industry comprises (1) establishments primarily engaged in operating racetracks; (2) owners of racing participants, such as cars, horses or dogs; (3) independent athletes, such as boxers, golfers or race-car drivers, participating in live sporting events before a paying audience; and (4) businesses, such as sports trainers, primarily engaged in providing specialized services required to support participants in sports events or competitions.

Product Description
In this third edition of Baseball Ratings, author Charles Faber combines the second edition ("great fodder for arguments"--Booklist/RBB) with his book on 19th-century greats, Baseball Pioneers ("very impressive"--Reference and User Services Quarterly; "a notable and … worthwhile addition"--ARBA), updating the ratings and expanding the commentary in each. The result, Baseball Ratings: The All-Time Best Players at Each Position, 1876 to the Present, is that rarest of rankings books--a time-tested, comprehensive reference work that invites reading.

Batters, fielders and pitchers from all major leagues since 1876 are ranked by position and, for pitchers, according to role (e.g., starter, middle reliever, closer) according to career, peak, and per-season achievement. All big league players with at least five years of eligibility are rated, and appendices identify underrated and overrated players, rate multiposition players, and sort the great by handedness. ...
