CHAPTER 4 Conceptualize Phase

Chapter 4 delves into the Conceptualize Phase of development, focusing on the essential elements of theory construction, including key inputs such as practical problems and existing theories. It discusses various approaches to conceptual development, including those by Dubin, Whetten, Weick, and Storberg-Walker. The chapter outlines the outputs of this phase, emphasizing the need for logical coherence and empirical testing, along with quality indicators like rigor and generalizability. Overall, it highlights the importance of thoughtful planning in theory building for effective application.

  4. What is Conceptualize Development? The specification of the key elements of the theory, with their relationships specified and described, and the domain of application.

  5. Inputs to Conceptualize Development • Practical Problems • Incomplete Existing Theories • New Areas of Human Activity

  10. The Conceptualize Phase – Summary of the Steps!

  11. Outputs of The Conceptualize Phase A set of linked concepts that explains arealmof human activity.

  12. Quality Indicators for the Conceptualize Phase • Parsimony • Rigor and Exactness • Logical Consistency • Generalizability • Empirical Testing

  13. Conclusion Many processes and tools exist for getting started in theory building. The key is to be thoughtful from the start about the purpose of the theory and where it is intended to be applied.
