Theory Construction to Serve African Management and Organizational Practices

Explaining ideas scientifically with rigor, creating a body of knowledge, is predicated on sound theoretical construct (Reynolds, 1986). Theoretical construct can be rooted in conceptualization of an idea inductively, generalizing a ‘set of laws’ into one coherent reasoning and explanation or through deductive reasoning, connecting a set of definitions, axioms, and mathematical data in creating an ‘axiomatic theory’ (Reynolds, 1986).
