| Tiivistelmä: | A set of ground rules and vocabulary to facilitate focussed discussion about the structure of organization and management theories are proposed. The many previous efforts at defining and evaluating theory help to establish criteria for theory construction and evaluation. In the establishment of these criteria, description is distinguished from theory, and a matrix of criteria for evaluating the variables, constructs, and relationships that together compose a theory is developed. This matrix may be useful both for defining the necessary components of a good theory and for evaluating and/or comparing the quality of alternative theories. |
