Theory Status Assessment and Next Steps for Application in Disciplines

This chapter delves into evaluating the current status of a theory through the five-phase method in applied disciplines, ensuring a rigorous standard for theory development. The process involves conceptualization, operationalization, confirmation, application, and refinement "buckets" to enhance theories' robustness and usefulness. By following this structured approach, the chapter outlines actionable steps for advancing learning organization and scenario-planning theories. It emphasizes the significance of engaging in all phases delineated in the book to legitimately term a concept as a theory, setting a bar for future theory-building endeavors.

  1. CHAPTER 11 Figuring Out the Present Status of a Theory

  2. Chapter 11 – Figuring Out the PresentStatus of a Theory Chapter Outline Introduction Theory-Building “Buckets” Next Steps for the Learning Organization Theory Based on the Assessment Next Steps for the Scenario-Planning Theory Based on the Assessment Conclusion

  3. Introduction To advance the building of robust, useful theories for applied disciplines, all of the phases detailed in this book must be involved in order to legitimately use the term theory.

  4. Theory Building “Buckets” • The Conceptualize Bucket • The Operationalize Bucket • The Confirm Bucket • The Apply Bucket • The Refine Bucket

  5. Next Steps for the Learning Organization Theory Based on the Assessment

  6. Next Steps for the Scenario-Planning Theory Based on the Assessment

  7. Conclusion Using the general five-phase method of Theory Building in Applied Disciplines to assess the current status of a theory can ensure that a higher standard for what counts as theory is held and that the next efforts to fill the voids can be determined.
