Assignment: Step 3-Theory Development

Explaining your model to a colleague helps you think more clearly about your theory and find possible gaps or errors. Theory development, like most other aspects of organizational decision making, is a team effort.

To prepare:

• Review Chapters 8 and 9 of your course text, focusing on theory development. (Text not needed)

• Review the Discussion and Assignment from Week 6. (Attached)

• Think about the model you developed and your colleagues' responses in this week's Discussion.

In 2 pages:

• Explain the model you developed. Be sure to explain the variables and their relationships.

• Identify where you have incorporated, or decided not to incorporate, your colleague's suggestions in your model.

• Justify your reasoning.
