Farimah joined the PhD program at DeGroote in September 2009. Her primary research interest is evidence-based management, with a particular focus on the actionability of management research and evidence-based decision making. Not only are these topics of interest to academics in the field, they are also critical for enhancing the professionalism of the management discipline and empowering managers to make evidence-informed decisions with a higher probability of effectiveness and success. Her research consists of two interconnected theories with a special focus on conceptualizing evidence and the actionability of research in the field of management. It also includes a pioneering empirical component which is arguably rare in the field of evidence-based management.
