Separating Data From Intuition: Bringing Evidence Into the Management Classroom

Evidence-based management promises to improve managerial decision making and organizational outcomes. The principles, however, cannot take root unless educators focus their attention on teaching evidence-based management in the classroom. To stimulate reflection and dialogue about effective practices, we describe our approaches to incorporating research findings into the classroom. We also share insights from 10 scholars who teach from an evidence-based perspective. We conclude by discussing lessons that we have learned from our own students about how to successfully teach evidence-based management.
