Compare And Contrast Corley And Gioia

A comparative analysis was performed on the data collected by each case study. Hollway and Jefferson were then able to present empirical evidence that would provide a value added contribution and an improvement in the understanding of fear of crime in the UK. Their evidence determined that regardless of social characteristics and exposure to risk, fear can have a different meaning for each individual. This case study illustrates the elements Corley and Gioia (2011) identified as essential to constructing a theory or theory building. Stam (2010) begins to illustrate theory as a systematic representation as described in mathematical terms where ever possible. It is articulated in this article that one of those components which impact

We begin where Corley and Gioia (2011), Harlow (2009) and Stam (2010) do when it comes to the concept of constructing a theory and that is to accept that there is not one universal meaning but there are elements of theory building that cannot be deprived during this process. These fundamental features, as identified in the articles, start with a literature review which engages its reader with the existing theoretical explanations. For Bowen this was the Psychoanalytic theory that had been formulated for the individual. From the theoretical concept the focus was on the patient. However, there began to be a dilemma when the cause of the patient’s illness was identified as the most important person in the patient’s life. This prompted the need for an alternate treatment model and so began the most significant developments of the family movement. The theory began to move forward as psychoanalytic practice progressed a previous concepts challenged. Bowen’s concept of FST arises out a variance of some of the theoretical and therapeutic issues of the family movement. Another central characteristic of theory building is that there exists a phenomenon with variables that need testing and exploration. For Bowen’s research, he identified emotional illness in the family as a phenomenon. It is utilitarian grew out of an effort to treat the more severe emotional problems. He structured his theory to produce the least amount of debate so as to advance the research as much as possible. Bowen’s, the family theory has a central concept termed, “undifferentiated family ego mass”. He was more utilitarian then accurate in his choice of words but deliberate in his delivery in an attempt to make it more appeasing so that more may be open to hearing the concept. By his cautious choice of words he provides essential parts of the concept and a different point
