This volume addresses a fundamental and highly debated issue in the
evaluation field - the use of evaluation information for
decision-making. Chapter authors honor the contributions of
Professor Marvin C. Alkin to the evaluation use literature and
advance our thinking on the topic by exploring a wide range of
issues related to the theoretical and practical challenges of using
evaluation information to make informed, evidence-based decisions.
Readers will come away from this volume with a new and clearer
understanding of the theoretical, contextual, methodological, and
political dimensions of use and with direction for practice.
Chapters are written by leading evaluation scholars, including
Ernest House; Stewart Donaldson and Tarek Azzam; Eric Barela;
Richard D. Nunneley, Jr., Jean A. King, Kelli Johnson, and Laura
Pejsa; Eleanor Chelimsky; Michael Quinn Patton; and Wanda D.
Casillas, Rodney K. Hopson and Ricardo L. Gomez. Evaluation Use and
Decision-Making in Society: A Tribute to Marvin C. Alkin will be of
great interest to evaluation students, scholars and practitioners.
This volume has scholarly application for those who desire a
state-of-the-art resource for the latest insights and perspectives
on one of the most pressing issues that the evaluation field faces
today, while also serving as a useful guide for both novice and
experienced evaluation practitioners. It is appropriate for use in
a variety of evaluation courses including Introduction to
Evaluation and Procedural Issues in Evaluation as well as topical
seminars such as Evaluation Use and Decision-Making.
