<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Make better organizational decisions using data and evidence from sources both inside and outside your business<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Decisions in businesses and organizations are too often based on fads, fashions and the success stories of famous CEOs. At the same time, traditional models and new cutting-edge solutions often fail to deliver on what they promise. This situation leaves managers, business leaders, consultants and policymakers with a profound challenge: how can we stay away from trends and quick fixes, and instead use valid and reliable evidence to support the organization? <p/>In response to this problem, evidence-based management has evolved with the goal of improving the quality of decision-making by using critically evaluated evidence from multiple sources - organizational data, professional expertise, stakeholder values and scientific literature. This book sets out and explains the specific skills needed to gather, understand and use evidence to make better-informed organizational decisions. <p/><b><i>Evidence-Based Management</i></b> is a comprehensive guide that provides current and future managers, consultants and organizational leaders with the knowledge and practical skills to improve the quality and outcome of their decision-making. Online resources include case studies, exercises, lecture slides and further reading.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b><i>Evidence-Based Management</i></b> addresses a vital need.
