The concluding chapter further develops the overall themes explored throughout the book. We critique the evidence-based management movement empirically by suggesting its absence in a sector which should have been fertile territory for it (given the strong evidence-based medicine inheritance). We highlight instead the importance of the macro context of public services reforming (with political and ideological components) in shaping which preferred management knowledges become influential in local health care organizations. We also complement this macro-level perspective with an awareness of the role of micro-level knowledge leadership. We then bring in some academic literature on business schools (‘the Business School Business’) and consider how business schools might properly operate in this domain given their importance as management knowledge producers. Finally, we reflect on the implications of what might have changed since we completed our research, including the populist rise of an anti-expert backlash.

While the implementation of evidence-based medicine guidelines is well studied, there has been little investigation into the extent to which a parallel evidence-based management movement has been influential within health care organizations. This book explores the various management knowledges and associated texts apparent in English health care organizations, and considers how the local reception of these texts was influenced by the macro level political economy of public services reform evident during the period of the politics of austerity. The research outlined in this volume shows that very few evidence-based management texts are apparent within health care organizations, despite the influence of certain knowledge producers, such as national agencies, think tanks, management consultancies, and business schools in the industry. Bringing together the often disconnected academic literature on management knowledge and public policy, the volume addresses the ways in which preferred management knowledges and texts in these publicly funded settings are sensitive to the macro level political economy of public services reform, offering an empirically grounded critique of the evidence-based management movement.

The objective: was to study the international experience of evidence based preventive medicine development as well as to estimate its perspectives in Ukraine. Patients and methods. Main principles and methods of scientific knowledge and research have been used including universal ones, methods of systemic approach, quantitative and qualitative information analysis, classification and systematization of theoretical and empirical data, hystorical and logical methods, health statistics as well). In total 529 scientific information sources have been studied, particularly a number of evidence based medicine (EBM) computer databases, special task forces recommendations and Cochrane reviews on prevention, Register of medical and technological documents for health care standards in Ukraine et al. Results. The contribution of foreign scientific schools in the development of EBM has been determined, as well as the crucial role of scientific works carried out in the US and Great Britain in 1930–80s as to the development of evidence based preventive medicine. The international experience of the development and functioning of evidence based practice centers’ and special task forces on prevention has been summarized, as the experience of the development and implementation of recommendations on prevention in primary health care (PHC) in high income countries acceptable for Ukraine. The concept of evidence based prevention has been first proposed. It is revealed, that EBM implementation in Europe has been prioritized in both the field of infectious diseases prevention and PHC, while there are both the development of differentiated evidence based prevention and early evidence based diagnosis in PHC in the US. Conclusion. The results proved importance of taking into consideration of international experience while evidence based PHC is being developed as a priority in Ukraine.

© Academy of Management Learning & Education. Although supportive of calls for business schools to learn the lessons of history to address contemporary challenges about their legitimacy and impact, we argue that our ability to learn is limited by the histories we have created. Through contrasting the contested development of the case method of teaching at Harvard Business School and the conventional history of its rise, we argue that this history, which promotes a smooth linear evolution, works against reconceptualizing the role of the business school. To illustrate this, we develop a "counterhistory" of the case method-one that reveals a contested and circuitous path of development-and discuss how recognizing this would encourage us to think differently. This counterhistory provides ameans of stimulating debate and innovative thinking about how business schools can address their legitimacy challenges, and, in doing so, have a more positive impact on society.

Insight Into

The term "evidence-based medicine" is being increasingly used by various sources of information today, and becomes a discussion subject of professional communities and ordinary citizens. Apart from a brief insight into the origin and development of evidence-based medicine in the world and in Russia, the article deals with the anthropological analysis of the attitudes of the modern Russian physicians and patients towards both the understanding of the term and the current status, prospects and possible risks of the development of this discipline in our country. The views of respondents about the role of pharmaceutical companies, the state and the balance between the development and implementation of clinical guidelines and individual cases are considered. The article presents the arguments of patients about whether there is still a "physician blessed by God" and whether it is important for them that the person who they address for help works in the paradigm of evidence-based medicine. Physicians question whether healing itself is still an art, or evidence-based medicine has finally turned it into a business and well-organized mechanism, which could protect them from criminal prosecution in a critical situation.

Key Aspects

This article argues that German–Israeli reconciliation after 1945 has not been as exemplary as is often suggested. Drawing on key aspects which emerge from a discussion of relevant concepts in the first part of the article – transitional justice and reconciliation – it will show that Germany’s memory culture, as evidenced in the elite discourse, has indeed developed in a way that points to a successful reconciliation between the two countries. On the other hand, however, German regret emerged only reluctantly, was by and large confined to West Germany, and took a long time to establish itself formally, with emphasis on German suffering rather than suffering caused by Germans always playing an important role in German collective memory after 1945. It will also show that at grass-roots level, reconciliation between Germany and Israel is far from unproblematic. Apart from providing a critical assessment of the reconciliation between Germany and Israel after 1945, the article contributes to current academic literature on transitional justice, reconciliation and the role of memory which suggests that even though commemoration and micro-level reconciliation might be important, the geopolitical context in which reconciliation takes place and strategic security considerations also play a significant role.

Modern urology has been at the forefront of evidence-based medicine, with the extracorporeal lithotripter acting a prime example of the development of a new technique from laboratory to patient. Evidence-based innovations in urology are not confined to minimally invasive surgery, and, as a result, today’s urologists have the benefit of extensive anatomical knowledge of the pelvis, urinary sphincter, and neurovascular bundles. The emergence of exciting technological innovations, such as laser and robotic surgery, continues to attest to the role of evidence-based practice in urology. When appropriately interpreted, the use of evidence in this chapter provides a basis for ensuring that further developments can positively benefit the patient.
