A theory is often viewed as a hypothesis or system of ideas intended to explain and predict a phenomenon or justify a course of action. For the purpose of this publication, theory is also defined generically to mean a range of approaches that specify the scope of inquiry, lay our assumptions, provide a shared vocabulary among members of a research team, and clearly define and relate concepts in the form of principles, hypotheses, and propositions.
