Description: From medicine to education evidence - based approaches aim to evaluate and apply scientific evidence to a problem in order to arrive at the best possible solution. Thus using scientific knowledge to inform the judgment of managers and the process of decision - making in organizations Evidence - based Management (EB Mgt) is the science - informed practice of management. Written by leading experts in the study and practice of EB Mgt The Oxford Handbook of Evidence - based Management provides an overview of key EB Mgt ideas and puts them in context of promoting evidence - based practice. Furthermore it addresses the roles and contributions of practitioners educators and scholars - - the primary constituents of EB Mgt - - while providing perspectives and resources for each. Divided into three sections (research practice and education) this handbook examines the realities of everyday management practice and the role EB Mgt can play in improving managerial decision making and employee well being and instructs educators in their roles as designers of curricula and resources. As the first major volume to capture the spirit of this emerging movement The Oxford Handbook of Evidence - based Management shows how practitioners can use high - quality knowledge gleaned from scientific research in order to make better use of available data and ultimately make more mindful decisions.
