Certum Quod Factum : How Formal Models Contribute to the Theoretical and Empirical Robustness of Organization Theory
这篇评论展示了形式模型（包括封闭形式和计算模型）如何改进组织理论的理论发展和理论检验，并为博士生和研究者提供开发形式模型论文的实用建议。
The aim of this commentary is to show how the use of formal models—both closed form and computational—can improve theory development and theory testing in organization theory. I also provide practical suggestions (aimed at PhD students and researchers considering developing a formal model) for dealing with challenges in developing and writing a formal modeling paper. By uncovering how formal models contribute to organization theory and presenting the constraints that formal modeling papers are subject to, this commentary can also help consumers of modeling papers to extract more value from this research method.
