Abstract

Evidence-based management is defined as a process of translating best evidence into organizational management practices. Surprisingly only 15 percent of decisions are evidence based. In the paper we present the idea how intelligent systems can be used to improve the current situation and show in a case study how intelligent systems can be successfully used to extract evidence to improve management practices and decision making, especially in human resource management.
