Hard Facts, Dangerous Half-Truths, and Total Nonsense:  Profiting From Evidence-Based Management
This book written by Stanford’s Jeffrey Pfeffer and Robert Sutton take the position that management can follow medicine’s lead and rely on evidence, not on half truths (now if we can only get the majority of medicine following this trend!).  This book is one of the first times that I can recall where medicine has been the example and business implementing a medical practice.  It is an outstanding read and for a very good synopsis of the book, please download this article which appeared in the Stanford Social Innovation Review.
