This paper examines the nature of
evidence-based policy and explains
how the ethic can be applied to
improve the position of the firm in
the mixed economy. Government
participates in the mixed economy in
several imposing ways. Indeed, government
is very much the ‘elephant
in the marketplace’ to be understood
and effectively managed by the
firm. However, the firm can better
its position by consistently applying
an evidenced-based approach when
dealing with government. Evidencebased
policy practitioners purport to
rely upon the empirical and ‘scientific’
rather than a priori arguments
for policy setting. Where evidence
is available, this should form the
basis of petitioning government. If
not available, then heuristic positions
may be put, but only if arrived
at through empirical rather than a
priori means. The conclusion is that
it is not so much what the firm says
to government, but how it is said.
Working consistently from within an
evidence-based paradigm means the
firm is more easily understood and,
importantly, can positively influence
decision-making to benefit the firm
with effects lasting well beyond
short-term political or news cycle.
