Abstract

GARCIA DEL JUNCO, Julio  and  DUTSCHKE, Georg. Evidence-based management as a teaching method. ACIMED [online]. 2008, vol.17, n.6. ISSN 1024-9435.

Evidence-based management is inspired in evidence-based medicine. Evidence-based management provides a frame of reference to follow a logic of performance. A problem demands to know what we want to do, the evaluation of the consequences of a decision and the necessary information, to act in a sense. The paper explains the concept of evidence-based management and its application to teaching. We present the results of a longitudinal study, conducted between 2000 and 2006, based on case analysis, to collect an adequate number of variables, and to know how they are perceived by students in connection with evidence-based management. The students rated the effectiveness of evidence-based management through a questionnaire based on Likert's scale with values ranging from 1 to 7. The students consider the method as "a good way to learn from the companies' errors" , indicating as a disadvantage "that it is not always good to copy other companies".

Keywords : Evidence-based management; continuing training information and communication technologies.
