Challenges to Advancing Evidence-Based Management in Organizations: Lessons from "Moneyball"
Cannon, Mark; Doyle, Corbette
Management Teaching Review, v5 n4 p363-373 Dec 2020
"Moneyball," the popular film adaptation of Michael Lewis's book on baseball, provides an engaging vehicle for teaching evidence-based management and decision-making bias, two topics that students without prior work experience may struggle to grasp. This article provides clip-by-clip examples of probing questions that can be used to foster a robust in-class discussion of both topics. While many students may have watched the movie in its entirety, the recommended clips have served as an effective teaching tool for students with no prior knowledge of the movie.
Descriptors: Films, Evidence Based Practice, Management Systems, Mass Media Use, Decision Making, Bias, Learning Experience, Discussion (Teaching Technique)
