The Scientific Confraternity of Evidence Researchers (SCoER) implements a unique research approach in management sciences. The team consisting of Adam Jabłoński, Marek Jabłoński, Daniel Dulęba, Mariusz Glenszczyk and Piotr Janulek focuses its activities on the evolutionary combination of methodologies developed in evidence-based medicine (Evidence-Based Medicine) with management sciences.
The foundation of the team's work is the belief that rigorous research methods used in medicine and pharmacy can significantly improve the quality of the decision-making process in managing organizations. The Confraternity undertakes pioneering attempts to adapt meta-analyses and systematic literature reviews — methods commonly used in medical research — to the context of enterprise management. This is a particularly innovative approach, because so far management sciences have been based mainly on other research methods, often less methodologically rigorous.
The team develops the concept of management based on systematic evidence (Systematic Evidence-Based Management), which may constitute the seed of a new subdiscipline in management sciences. This can be provisionally called "Systematic Evidence-Based Management" or "Medical Standards Management".
Within this concept, researchers propose using the hierarchy of scientific evidence, characteristic of medicine, in the process of making managerial decisions. This approach aims to increase the objectivity and effectiveness of management actions by basing them on systematically verified scientific evidence.
The Confraternity introduces the methodology of meta-analysis to management sciences, which allows for obtaining quantitative, precise and integrated conclusions from various studies. This is particularly important in the context of the growing complexity of management problems and the need to make decisions based on reliable data.
The team's research is characterized by a holistic approach to science, combining the methodological rigor of medical sciences with practical aspects of managing organizations. This interdisciplinary perspective allows for the creation of new solutions in the field of scientific research and management practice.
The Confraternity's activities can contribute to significant changes in the way research is conducted in management sciences, introducing higher methodological standards and new research tools. In a practical perspective, the team's work can lead to the development of more effective and objective management strategies based on systematically verified scientific evidence.
The team believes that introducing rigorous methodological standards to management sciences is necessary in the face of the growing complexity of modern organizations and their environment. By adapting proven methods from the field of medicine, the Confraternity aims to improve the quality of research in management sciences and increase their practical usefulness.
This pioneering activity of the Scientific Confraternity of Evidence Researchers fills a significant gap in the literature on the subject, creating new standards for conducting scientific research in the field of management and quality. It can also provide a basis for the development of a new paradigm in management sciences, combining best practices from various fields of science.
Evolutionary Integration of Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) Methodology with Management Sciences
The integration of methodologies developed in evidence-based medicine (EBM) with management sciences requires consideration of various information sources that together form a coherent and comprehensive foundation for decision-making. One of the key elements is scientific research, which provides reliable evidence of the effectiveness of methods and strategies. Rigorous analyses, such as meta-analyses and systematic literature reviews, serve as a solid reference point, helping to avoid subjectivity and reliance on unverified assumptions.
Another important source of information is grey literature, which includes reports, working papers, presentations, and other materials not considered traditional academic publications. Although often less formal, grey literature provides practical context and data that can be crucial for analyzing management realities, especially in situations where scientific publications are lacking.
Equally important are organizational data, which come from internal resources of the organization, such as operational analyses, performance indicators, and employee satisfaction survey results. This data allows decisions to be tailored to the unique conditions and challenges faced by a given organization, enhancing the effectiveness of implemented strategies.
Expert opinions should also be taken into account as a valuable source of practical knowledge and intuitive insights. Experts with experience in a specific field can provide guidance that may be difficult to find in literature or numerical data, particularly in the context of innovation or crisis management.
Stakeholder interests also play a crucial role in the decision-making process. Evidence-based management requires understanding and considering the needs, expectations, and preferences of individuals and groups involved in the organization's activities. This allows the development of strategies that are not only effective but also accepted and supported by stakeholders.
The final, but equally important, aspect is cultural factors. Every organization operates within a specific cultural context, which influences decision-making, communication, and the implementation of changes. Considering cultural aspects allows strategies to be better tailored to local conditions and minimizes the risk of resistance to change.
The integration of these six information collectors creates a foundation for evidence-based management, which, much like in medicine, enables decision-making that is highly effective and contextually appropriate.
