Welcome to this week's episode titled: “The Six Dimensions of Strong Theory.”📚 Our guide on this intellectual expedition? None other than Andrew M. Carton, whose brand-new article—just published ahead of print on June 13, 2025—takes center stage in the prestigious FT50 journal, Organization Science. 🏆📖 Published by the brilliant folks at INFORMS, this piece isn’t just a paper… it's a blueprint for how to think about thinking.Carton doesn't just critique or praise theory. No — he dissects it. He lays out a six-point typology that captures the essence of theoretical strength:🔑 Importance🤯 Interestingness🛠️ Actionability🌍 Generality⚙️ Simplicity📏 AccuracyBut here’s the twist: trying to optimize all six? That’s like chasing a unicorn through a maze of mirrors. 🦄💫 Instead of endless compromise, Carton urges us to prioritize. To choose our battles. To craft theories that don’t try to do it all — but do some things brilliantly.So here’s the curious question we leave you with today:🧐 If you had to build a theory that was only strong in two dimensions... which would you choose — and what would you be willing to sacrifice?🎧 A huge thank-you to Andrew M.
