| Abstract: | There are a variety of ways to develop and present conceptual material. However, this article reviews approaches that have been found to be particularly useful by many contributors to theory in Human Resource Management. It also highlights the distinction between the creation and development of ideas and the clear communication of these ideas to a targeted audience. While there is no substitute for critical and analytical thinking, it is argued that many potentially good notions fail to get the attention that they deserve as a result of weak or ineffective writing. Consequently, suggestions toward improving this aspect of theory building are offered as well. |
