"This book covers the main areas of knowledge which managers need, and gives tools for thinking and empirical examples relevant to current challenges. Evidence based management might not always be possible, but this book gives a way for a manager to become research-informed and therefore more effective."
Professor John Øvretveit, Director of Research, The Karolinska Institute, Sweden
