From Passively Received Wisdom to Actively Constructed Knowledge:Teaching Systematic Review Skills As a Foundation of Evidence-Based Management
Presentation by Rob Briner and Neil Walshe
AOM Annual Meeting 2015, Vancouver
Calls for both practical and scholarly activities to be grounded more in actual evidence have become louder, especially in the last decade. Four domains in particular have embraced evidence-based thinking, resulting in the respective developments of evidence-based medicine, evidence-based management, evidence-based education and evidence-based policy. Despite the presumed benefits of drawing on different sources of evidence for decision-making in practice, whether in medicine, management, education or policy, this does not seem to prevail. Whilst one likely reason for this slow uptake could simply be down to practitioners not always having much time to consult the evidence-base in their day-to-day work, another reason might be that they are not aware of specific insights applicable to their domain of work or to practice in general.
This is where the workshop contributes:
Representatives from the four key domains engaged with evidence-based practice will share with the audience their latest insights and the consequences thereof for practice. Further, all speakers will discuss questions such as:
What do we have in common?
How can we learn from one another?
How can we combine insights from the four domains?
These will be discussed as part of a concluding panel.

Big data, evidence-based, predictive analytics, today these terms are all over the place. Is this just another fad or an irreversible trend? An increasing group of HR leaders relies on science, critical thinking and data analyses to make decisions.
Evidence-based HR, however, is still perceived by many as too time-consuming, narrow or impractical. Meanwhile, evidence-based practice is becoming mainstream in many other disciplines (like medicine). This is the momentum for pioneering HR leaders to seize the opportunity and make a difference with evidence. As part of an inclusive approach, valuing different perspectives.
We will enter into the dialogue about the why, the what, and most of all the how of evidence-based HR. How to get started and how to blend it with softer, less tangible HR practices? A pragmatic introduction, with realistic ambitions and openness towards other approaches.

10 SIMPLE STEPS TO BUILDING A REPUTATION AS A RESEARCHER, IN YOUR EARLY CAREERMicah Altman
A talk sponsored by the MIT Postdoctoral Association with support from the Office of the Vice President for Research.
In the rapidly changing world of research and scholarly communications researchers are faced with a rapidly growing range of options to publicly disseminate, review, and discuss research—options which will affect their long-term reputation. Junior scholars must be especially thoughtful in choosing how much effort to invest in dissemination and communication, and what strategies to use.
In this talk, I briefly discuss a number of review of bibliometric and scientometric studies of quantitative research impact, a sampling of influential qualitative writings advising this area, and an environmental scan of emerging researcher profile systems. Based on this review, and on professional experience on dozens of review panels, I suggest some steps junior researchers may consider when disseminating their research and participating in public review and discussion.
Essential skills in health research and scientific writingDr Ghaiath Hussein
This presentation is of the training on "Essential Skills in Health Research and Scientific Writing" that was help in Soba Teaching Hospital in Khartoum, in collaboration with the Sudanese American Medical Association (SAMA).
It was a 4 days training given on a rate of one session per week. It was almost all skills-based hands-on training.
Day 1: The theoretical part was an Introduction to the Knowledge Management Cycle and where research fits in this model. The practical part was how to conduct an online review of literature
Day 2: The theoretical part was about the responsible conduct of research, and scientific misconduct, with focus on plagiarism. The practical part included the installation and the use of Reference Manager, including how to import the references found in the LR (given in session 1) in a database in the Reference Manager software.
Day 3: The theoretical part covered the basics of scientific writing in English. The practical part included writing, and re-writing some pieces, using the provided phrasebanks and verbs 'cheat-sheets'.
Day 4 was on the writing for publication, including detailed description of the peer-review publication model and how it works. We also touched very briefly, due to time constraints, to an overview and two examples of ethical issues in research. The practical part included writing an effective cover Letter to the editor, choosing proper manuscript title, and writing an informed consent.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
2. What Is EBMgt?
EBMgt is an evolution in the practice of management. It
is a knowledge-intensive, capacity-building way to think,
act, organize, and lead. Its practice incorporates:
1) Use of scientific principles in decisions &
management processes
2) Systematic attention to organizational facts
3) Advances in practitioner judgment through critical
thinking and decision aids that reduce bias & enable
more complete use of information
4) Ethical considerations including effects on multiple
stakeholders
Rousseau, Oxford Handbook of EBMgt., 2012, p. 3
3. Why Teach EBMgt?
• There is a large body of social science & management research
that can help improve individual and organizational functioning &
well being
• Many people are unaware of this research, even if they go to
business school
• The Internet facilitates broad access to scientific knowledge
• However, many people do not have the skills to assess the quality
of knowledge claims, so they adopt claims consistent with their
pre-existing beliefs
• Failure to seek and consider research evidence is arguably a form
of “malpractice”; it undoubtedly has human costs
• Raising awareness of research evidence and the consequences of
evidence- versus non-evidence based decisions increases urgency
to improve research quality
Drawn from Pfeffer (Foreward) & Rousseau (Preface) in
Oxford Handbook of Evidence-Based Management (2012)

6. Some Emerging Trends in Teaching
EBP
• Start class with some sort of exercise that gets
students to question their assumptions and/or
be open to research-based approach
• Use analogies and examples from medicine
• Use cases (but in a “non-typical,” research-
infused way)
• Invite research librarians in to improve search
capabilities
• Encourage dialectic & dialogic pedagogies; less
“telling” than in “push” methods
7. Issues Raised by the Special Issue
(& To Be Discussed Today)
• Relationship between “push” and “pull” approaches:
Push Pull Push? (Guyatt & Burls)
• How to deal with (frequently) sub-optimal research
evidence?
• Potential epistemological conflicts over hierarchies of
research quality
• Rising expectations regarding “evidence-based”
claims
• Should we use technical, research-based
terminology?
• How can EBMgt connect with “big data” or “data
analytics” in business school curricula?
Editor's Notes
Tina Saksida from UPEI,
Trank: Interpreting research as a rhetorical act (rather than simple conveyance of information)
The dialectical method is discourse between two or more people holding different points of view about a subject, who wish to establish the truth of the matter guided by reasoned arguments.[1]
Dialogic learning is typically the result of egalitarian dialogue; in other words, the consequence of a dialogue in which different people provide arguments based on validity claims and not on power claims.[1]. Predisposition for questioning.
PUSH
Informs people of current state of evidence in a particular field; emphasis on including relevant research in topic discussions
Tends to be the earliest approach used within disciplines
Examples:
Textbooks (e.g., Pearce, Latham)
Business press books (e.g., Pfeffer & Sutton)
Syllabi (Charlier, Brown & Rynes)
