- Abstract
Evidence-Based Research (EBR) is a research methodology that is receiving increasing attention from management scholars and practitioners. While its roots can be traced back to pharmaceutical and medical trials, EBR offers the academic researcher a transparent methodology that avoids the limitations of a traditional literature review and its potential subjectivity. The purpose of this study is to explore the theory and the practice of EBR. There are three parts to this research paper. The first part of the paper includes a history of the methodology and a discussion of some of its strengths and weaknesses. The second part of the paper details an actual study establishing the parameters to examine the use of EBR in the field of management. The paper concludes with a look at some of the controversy surrounding the use of EBR and a recommendation for future research.
