The Case for Formal Theory
介绍管理研究者如何运用数学方法、仿真和形式逻辑等工具来构建理论，并概述这些方法的优势。
This special topic forum contains seven papers that illustrate many of the ways in which management researchers can use formal tools—mathematical methods, simulation, and formal logic—to develop management research. Here we offer an overview of these methods and their advantages as tools for theory building.
