Promoting data-driven and real-world applicability driven approaches to theorization: Yet another essential requirement of contemporary science
Authors/Creators
Description
This paper attempts to extend our previous papers and publications on the philosophy of science and
the scientific method most notably those pertaining to context-based theorization, and the knowledge
production lifecycle or the knowledge production process. We begin this paper by discussing what
theorization is all about, and discuss the process of theorization and hypothesis-building in brief
including a summation and summarization of the various steps involved. We would like to impress upon
our audiences, the need and importance of data-driven and real-world applicability driven theorization
in the context of the twenty-first century, with an aim to demonstrate that the most ideal principles are
still not followed in twenty-first century research. In sum, the core concepts of grounded theory are also
still mostly not followed. We need not only metrics-driven approaches, but more meta data and meta
theorization. To prove our point and prove our case, we extract and present a large number of basis
examples from economics, particularly micro economics. These observations will of course also apply to
other fields of the social sciences, and non social sciences as well. Much is to be gained by streamlining
scientific method, and bringing it uptodate in all aspects and respects, more so through revolutionary
change.
