The nature and types of theory.

  Using Gelso (2006), Harlow (2009), Stam, H. (2007, 2010), Wacker (1999), and five additional peer-reviewed articles from international business, discuss scholarly views on the nature and types of theory. Compare and contrast at least three views of what constitutes a theory. Be sure to distinguish theory from related concepts, such as hypothesis, paradigm, model, and concept.
