Topic:  the role of evidence in management research. By De Kemcy. www.educationnigeria.org

Abstract:

While a number of research studies have examined the factors determining the extent of use of management research information by managers, there is only scant empirical evidence on the link between management research activity and company performance. Aims to examine the extent of usability of  management research undertaken by manufacturing firms as regards evidence-based approach in a variety of industrial contexts and to explore its impact on competitive success. According to the results obtained in the paper, and contrary to prior research, a direct link can be detected between performance and (1)whether management research is conducted/commissioned, (2)what information is collected, or (3)how it is obtained, all in the light of evidence. It Discusses the

findings in the light of previous evidence and theoretical speculation concerning the role of evidence in management research as a determinant of company success, and makes a number of suggestions for future research.
