This is an exciting opportunity for students who are interested in writing conceptual articles, or who are working on empirical research.
There is one thing that most academic articles and theses have in common: they aim to make a compelling theoretical contribution. However, in practice, developing and communicating one’s theoretical contribution is not so easy as it requires learning a craft that is seldom explicitly explained during the PhD program.
This workshop offers tools and other useful resources for the theory development process. We will discuss the meaning of theory and theory development and offer templates for the theorization process, and guidance for compelling framing and communication of theoretical contributions for higher impact.
