Understanding science: How to evaluate the research quality of scientific studies?

As you continue to develop your evidence-based management skills, learning to evaluate research for its quality and applicability to your own management practice is paramount. While peer-reviewed, empirical research is generally of a much higher quality than other published information found from other sources, not all journal articles are created equally.
Research quality of scientific studies can be evaluated with the concepts of validity and reliability

Social systems theory for management practitioners: Organizations as network of decisions

In line with our critical thinking approach here at CQ Net, in this blog post we want to look beyond the traditional management understanding of organizations as machines. Sociology has a long tradition in offering theories and systems of thought on how societies, organizations and teams work and relate to each other. One of these approaches is 'social systems theory'. Carlton Clark has a look at this grand social theory and its implications for management practitioners.

Sociology safari: How grand theories from sociology guide management practitioners

From a practitioner’s point of view, academic disciplines especially from the social sciences may at first sight not seem relevant to the daily practice of administering and leading a firm. However, the field of sociology (or the study of society, social institutions and social relationships) is extremely influential and useful for business management.
Grand theories from sociology provide important key take-aways for management practitioners on how to lead and develop organizations.

Die Sozialwissenschaften stecken in einer Impact-Krise: Überlegungen und Lösungsansätze, um diese zu überwinden.

Die Sozialwissenschaften sind dafür gedacht fundierte Informationen und Empfehlungen für die unterschiedlichsten Aspekte des menschlichen Lebens – vom Bildungswesen über das Strafrechtssystem bis zum Management bereitzustellen. Dennoch haben die Sozialwissenschaften viele Erkenntnisse hervorgebracht, die in ihrer Relevanz und Anwendbarkeit stark begrenzt sind (Bornman, 2013). Kleine experimentelle Studien und Umfragen, typischerweise mit Studenten durchgeführt, können uns nicht dauerhaft neue Erkenntnisse darüber liefern, was die Menschen in der gesamten Welt denken, wie sie sich verhalten und was sie fühlen. Außerdem können viele Schlussfolgerungen aus in Laboren durchgeführten, hochtheoretischen Arbeiten oft nicht auf den Büroalltag übertragen werden.

Learning und Development ist Führungsverantwortung. Lerne wie du L&D selbst in die Hand nimmst.

Wir von CQ Net unterstützen Manager und Professionals im Bereich Personal- und Organisationsentwicklung. Im Fokus steht dabei die Umsetzung von evidenzbasierten Praktiken, mit dem Ziel die individuelle und organisationale Leistungsfähigkeit zu erhöhen. Dieser Ansatz basiert auf der Prämisse, dass Learning & Development (L&D) Führungsverantwortung ist. Dieses Verständnis steht diametral zu dem weit verbreiteten Ansatz L&D im Bereich der Personalabteilung oder bei externen Consultants zu verorten. Davon ausgehend stellt sich die Frage für Manager und Professionals, welche Aktivitäten notwendig sind, um die Initative im Bereich L&D zu ergreifen. Wir stellen in diesem Artikel eine Reihe einfach umzusetzender Interventionen vor, die es dir ermöglichen deine L&D Kompetenzen auf- und auszubauen.

Learning and development is a leadership responsibility: How to take initiative when it comes to L&D

Here at CQ Net, we support managers and professionals to develop their employees, teams and organizations with evidence-based practices to the next performance level. This approach is based on the assumption that learning and development (L&D) is a key leadership responsibility. This is in contrast to the mainstream understanding of L&D which is mainly seen as a responsibility of the human resource (HR) department or external organizational development consultants. Taking this into consideration the question arises how managers and professionals can get into the driver seat when it comes to L&D. We collected a set of interventions that will help you to strengthen your and your organization’s L&D competencies.

Qualitative and Quantitative Approaches to Evidence-Based Management

Evidence-based management covers both qualitative and quantitative research. This CQ Dossier provides a brief introduction in both research traditions.

Become an Evidence-based Manager with our CQ Dossiers: Now available as free pdf White Papers

High quality knowledge is one of the most important assets for managers and professionals nowadays. You and your organization can only be successful when decisions are taken based on a wide range of evidence, including the most recent insights from research and science. This approach is called Evidence-based Management (EBM or EBMgt) and has its origin in the healthcare sector which started some time ago with taking decisions by drawing on evidence rather than opinion. However, when you start to gather information to solve a business problem from outside your organization you'll mostly rely on two different sources.

Werde ein Evidence-based Manager mit unseren CQ Dossiers, die ab sofort auch als kostenlose pdf White Papers verfügbar sind

Hochwertiges Wissen ist eine der wichtigsten Resourcen für Manager und Professionals im 21. Jahrhundert. Dein Erfolg und der Erfolg deiner Organisation hängt mehr und mehr davon ab, ob Entscheidungen auf Basis aktueller Erkenntnisse aus Wissenschaft und Forschung getroffen werden. Dieser Ansatz wird Evidenzbasiertes Management (EBM) genannt und hat seinen Ursprung im Gesundheitssektor, welcher von einigen Jahren bekonnen hat Entscheidungen auf Basis von Evidenz anstatt Meinungen zu treffen. Wenn du dich jedoch auf die Suche nach Wissen außerhalb deiner Organisation begibst, um eine Problemstellung in deinem Tagesgeschäft zu lösen, wirst du wahrscheinlich auf zwei unterschiedliche Quellen stoßen.

Resolving the impact crisis: Bringing the social sciences into the real, working world

The social sciences are, by design, intended to provide grounded, meaningful information and recommendations for various aspects of human life – from education, to criminal justice, to management, and many more. Yet for many years, social science research has yielded findings that are very limited in their relevance and applicability (Bornman, 2013). Small experimental studies and surveys, typically conducted on college students, cannot consistently tell us meaningful things about how people in the world-at-large think, behave, and feel. Furthermore, highly theoretical work that is conducted in a laboratory may not provide useful conclusions that extend to the office.
