aos-theory-development

separate

Use when building the theoretical engine of an Accounting, Organizations and Society (AOS) manuscript — choosing a social/organizational theory tradition (institutional theory, governmentality, Bourdieu, actor-network theory, practice theory, psychological process theory) and making it generate the analysis rather than decorate it. Builds the lens; it does not collect data (aos-methods) or frame the contribution (aos-contribution-framing).

When to use

• Choosing a social/organizational theory tradition
• Making theory generate analysis
• Building the theoretical lens
• Planning abductive loops for interpretive work
• Writing process predictions for experiments
• Naming conceptual innovation

When not to use

• Collecting data
• Framing the contribution
