It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so -The book (Evidence-based management by Barends and Rousseau) uses this quotation in one of the chapters and it captures quite well the essence of Evidence-Based Management (EBM).Much of the previous work published on Evidence-Based Management has been more or less of a conceptual nature due to the relative newness of the subject seen from a management perspective.The book by Barends and Rousseau takes the subject a much needed step further and provides a more applicable and practical approach to the subject. What constitutes evidence? And how do we make decisions based upon evidence? Etc.The book takes you on an extensive and comprehensive guided tour of the 6 fundamental tasks (Ask , Acquire, Appreciate, Aggregate, Apply, and Assess) which are the cornerstones of EBM and relates them to the 4 sources of evidence (Practitioners, Scientific research literature, organizational data, and stakeholders). The tour is assisted by multiple examples to clarify the point. Especially chapter 12 on “Weighing and pulling together the evidence” is of great value. It sums up all the work done in the previous chapters to a coherent and usable whole using Bayes rule.The last chapters of the book are dedicated to shedding some light on perhaps the most difficult obstacle in EBM process, namely getting the whole organization to follow and incorporate EBM into the decision-making process. Why? Better decisions, better performance.Overall the outcome of the book is a well written and easy manual for everyone that would like to take a usable approach to EBM and is a must read for everyone, students or managers, who are interested in Evidence-Based Management and thinks of using it to improve their decision-making process and/or implementing it organization-wide.I started with a quote I might as well end with one – Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.Evidence-Based Management is the way to minimize false knowledge and keep you out of trouble :)Happy reading ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A supremely useful book not only for managers *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2019* Highly recommended!I have read this book as a student of business administration and I have to say I learned there more than from my main subjects (management, strategy, entrepreneurship, marketing...) combined.Personally, I found most useful the part about scientific literature. I have learned there how to search for studies on a given topic in a very systematic way and how to then evaluate these studies based on a rigorous methodology. I also really enjoyed learning about aggregating evidence via Bayes rule, which brought the whole book nicely together.Chapters on other sources on evidence were very informative as well. The part on practitioners has made me more aware of our cognitive biases and how to work with them. I have also learned there how to form solid questions that will create the most realistic answers possible. The part on stakeholders has improved my knowledge of this area; I already knew quite a lot about this topic, but the book has equipped me with a lot of useful tools and ways of thinking. Finally, the part about organizational evidence has given me a lot of clarity in thinking about data from organization itself.Full of informative flowcharts, real-life examples and useful checklists, this book is a great read for anyone inclined towards critical thinking and making decisions in a systematic way. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars How to make better managerial decisions? *by A*** on Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2019* Highly recommend this book!In our world where data is a bounty, how do you acquire the right data and appraise its relevance? This book provides both the knowledge and tools to help make better decisions in organizations.I read this book after reading thinking, fast and slow by Daniel Kahneman, and this book fits right in. Being aware that bias and confounders can misguide our decision making, this book then provided the needed framework for improving our decision-making skills. This book is not only a must-read for managers, but will also make a great textbook for teaching.This easy-to-read book covers the six steps of evidence-based management (Ask, acquire, appraise, aggregate, apply and assess) using four sources of evidence: Practitioners, Scientific literature, Organizations, and Stakeholders. Together which represents the Evidence-based management skills framework. How this works is illustrated by many practical examples throughout the book. ## Frequently Bought Together - Evidence-Based Management: How to Use Evidence to Make Better Organizational Decisions - Publication Manual (OFFICIAL) 7th Edition of the American Psychological Association - Management Information Systems: Managing the Digital Firm, Global Edition --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/74091426-evidence-based-management-how-to-use-evidence-to-make-better](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/74091426-evidence-based-management-how-to-use-evidence-to-make-better) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
