The second part of our investigation involved interviewing researchers who have been successful in publishing theory, both in the Academy of Management Review and in other outlets. To that end, we interviewed seven individuals from different fields of management, including strategic management, organizational theory, human resources,and organizational behavior. We asked these individuals for their views on and responses to a series of questions, such as “What do you know now about theory(or theorybuilding) that youwish youhadbeen taught as a doctoral student?” “In your experience and in regard to theory (or theory building), what do students particularly struggle with?” and “Are there certain readings that are particularly helpful to you when teaching theory?” Below we summarize what we learned from these investigations.
