Other Evidence-Based MovementsThe idea of Evidence-Based Management (EBM) was
originally inspired by the movement of Evidence-Based Medicine.
That movement has encouraged the growth of evidence-based movements in
different fields. Notable ones
are listed on this page, together with some relevant articles or
Websites. Professors
Pfeffer and Sutton
