The Evidence Business: Some Implications of Evidence-Based Management

In: International review of qualitative research: IRQR, Volume 1, Issue 3, p. 337-346

Abstract

Business schools have attracted a growing number of more critical scholars, especially in the last few years. However, in ways that are analogous to other social sciences, the critical scholarship produced in business schools may be coming under threat from evidence-based practices — in this case, "Evidence-based Management" So this essay reflects on the implications of evidence-based management and suggests some ways in which its threats might be resisted.
