  • Abstract:
    Emerging disciplines, such as Construction Management/Economics, inevitably borrow theory and methods from other, more mature disciplines. In doing so, both the content of the borrowed theory and the contexts in which it has been used as well as the new context in which it will be used are fundamental concerns. Contexts have determined the content of theories and impact their applications – including validities and reliability of results and findings. Through a review of leading literature on theory borrowing, this Note discusses the major issues involved and suggests considerations and precautions to ensure good research practice when borrowing theory – content, context, and methods.
