To help students understand what theory is and isn’t, our experts suggested forcing students to identify theories used in papers describing a particular phenomenon (e.g., the relationship between personality attributes and entrepreneurial behaviors). Examples of focused questions using this approach are “What is the overarching theoretical framework?” “What are the differences between process and variance theories?” “How does this paper amend existing theory?” “What is the mechanism that links the constructs in this paper?” What are the strengths and weaknesses of the theory?” and “What (if anything) do you disagree with or find controversial?” Asking focused questions ensures that students pay attention to the theory that underlies the phenomenon,framework, or set of relationships they are reading about. Relatedly, students should be encouraged to identify the boundary conditions and assumptions that underlie any theoretical approach—going beyond those that the authors of the theory have identified. All theories have a set of assumptions that underlie them and boundary conditions that contain them, and it useful to explicitly consider what those assumptions and boundary conditions might be.
