The Evidence-based Management (EBMa) course provides students enrolled in programs at RSM with competencies centered around evidence that they are expected to develop and maintain throughout their studies and ultimately translate into their working life. EBMa involves the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of the best available evidence about and within business organisations for decision-making. This course equips students with fundamental knowledge about EBMa and evidence, and how it strengthens decision-making and practice in business and organisations. Students will explore evidence in organisational settings and the integration of evidence with particular decisions and actions in practice. Students will be able to translate principles of best available evidence to management practice and ethical decision-making, and as well to reflect on how to use evidence and their position to improve on their learning experience.
Typical assessments may include, but are not restricted to: in-class exercises, written and oral assignments, quizzes, examinations, group project tasks, oral presentations, and other assessments deemed appropriate to show the attainment of the learning outcomes set for the course. Further details will be made available via the Class Summary.
