چکیده

اکثر مشارکت های نظری در مدیریت استراتژیک به جای معرفی پارادایم‌های جدید "نظریه بزرگ "، نظریه های پذیرفته شده را به شیوه های جدید و جالب؛ گسترش داده، شفاف می‌سازند و یا به کار می گیرند. در اینجا ما دستورالعملی جهت چگونگی ایجاد این نوع مشارکت های نظری ارائه می دهیم. نظریه معمولا با یک سوال تحقیق مبتنی بر پدیده مورد علاقه، تغییرات یا محدودیت های نظریه موجود یا خلاقیت فکری آغاز می شود. علاوه بر سوال تحقیق، جوانب تخصصی تر دیگری از نظریه وجود دارد که می توان مشارکت ها را در مورد آن ها اعمال کرد: روش نظریه پردازی، سطح تحلیل، درک پدیده اصلی، سازوکارهای علی، ساختارها و متغیرها و شرایط مرزی از جمله این جنبه ها می باشند. این جوانب نظریه، مجموعه ای از نتایج را در قالب توضیحات، پیش بینی ها یا دستورالعمل ها ایجاد می کنند. مقالات در این موضوع ویژه از مجله مدیریت استراتژیک، با استفاده از چارچوب ارائه شده ما به عنوان نمونه های این رویکرد به تدوین مشارکت های نظری تفسیر شده است.

چکیده [English]

Rather than introducing radical new “grand theory” paradigms, most theory contributions in strategic management extend, clarify, or apply received theories in new and interesting ways. Here we offer a guide on how to make these kinds of contributions to theory. Theory usually begins with a research question, which can come from the phenomenon of interest, variations/limitations of existing theory, or intellectual creativity. Along with the question, there are a number of more craftsmanship-level aspects of a theory where contributions can be made: the mode of theorizing, the level of analysis, an understanding of the underlying phenomenon, causal mechanisms, constructs and variables, and boundary conditions. These aspects of the theory lead to a set of outcomes in the form of explanations, predictions, or prescriptions. The articles in this special issue are interpreted through our framework as illustrations of this approach to making theory contributions.
