orgsci-theory-development

separate

Use when building or sharpening the theory for an Organization Science manuscript — articulating the organizational mechanism, bridging micro-macro levels, and deciding between a priori deductive theorizing and inductive grounded theory building. Develops the theory; it does not frame the contribution statement (orgsci-contribution-framing) or run the analysis (orgsci-data-analysis).

When to use

• articulating the organizational mechanism
• bridging micro-macro levels
• deciding between a priori deductive theorizing and inductive grounded theory building
• building theory from rich inductive data
• specifying cross-level bridge logic
• stating boundary conditions
• developing an abstracted process model
• executing a theory pass for Organization Science

When not to use

• framing the contribution statement
• running the analysis
