We hope that these resources help you in course development, student mentoring, or your own professional development. We suspect that you have read many of the resources and have engaged in many of the activities we have mentioned—you just may not have realized that you were engaging in understanding the process of theory development and theory building. There seems to be an implicit assumption that students will learn the art of theory development through osmosis or by engaging in research projects. And, in fact, some eminent researchers do learn this way. For example, many of our experts mentioned that they learned how to develop theory through this ad hoc process. However, given the value placed on theoretical contributions, we believe that it is important to make the goal of theory development more explicit, and to that end we have provided you with some resources to help you reach this goal.
