Evidence-based Practice in Organizations

3 credits · Undergraduate

Accessing and using published research in solving organizational and social problems is a cornerstone of movements in management, education, medicine and a range of other fields. Using evidence from academic research has even become part of the definition of ethical practice in many of these fields. As a result, identifying and appraising research studies that might be used to solve individual, team and organizational problems has become a critical skill for practitioners. From this research, practitioners must be prepared to create actionable interventions and to persuade others to adopt them. Corequisite: HOD 2100 [3]
