Abstract
This essay is exploring how evidence is being developed in practice and what is the role of science and stakeholders within these processes. It suggests measures by which decision makers can assess the relevance of various forms of evidence and helps to develop relational and impactful (teaching) practices in which research activities are integrated. Based on a pragmatist approach to management and organization in which habits are the unit of analyses, the paper suggests where and why meta-skills such as reflection and dialogue are important. To make this point, the paper uses evidence- based management (EBMgt), an upcoming approach in academia to relate scientific approaches to management decision-making. By assessing EBMgt, it positions the role of scientific knowledge and stakeholders in the production of evidence within decision-making processes.
