IntroductionTo advance the building of robust, useful theories for applied disciplines, all of the phases detailed in this book must be involved in order to legitimately use the term theory.

ConclusionUsing the general five-phase method of Theory Building in Applied Disciplines to assess the current status of a theory can ensure that a higher standard for what counts as theory is held and that the next efforts to fill the voids can be determined.
