The Relationship Between Theory and Application/Practice A “good” theory, according to Wacker (1998) is a mixture of how theory is defined and the virtues of sustainable theory building and facts-finding mechanism leading to application and/or practice. Theory is the means of knowledge accumulation in practice (Suddaby, 2015), but does not necessary need application (Wacker, 1998), making theory abstract and non-applied. Theory application and its practice tend to be further apart on the theory
Undoubtedly, there is an unswerving relationship between the theory and its application. Theory offers direction in research, and its application affords a baseline for research. In the following text, the relationship between theory and application and the manner in which a theory guides practices is espoused upon. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to show how research and theory are connected and how both serve as models for good practice in finding the appropriate information that allows

Clausewitz’s theories on warfare capture the relationship between humanity and its application of war, remaining relevant in today’s era through their pensive explanations of timeless philosophical principles regarding the concept of war. These theories regarding war in politics, the key factors affecting war, and the extent that war is applied are inherently interconnected, providing insight on the relationships between humanity and its application of war. One of Clausewitz’s most prevalent theories is
Application of Attachment Theory to Lars’ Relationships Attachment theory is based on John Bowlby’s belief that humans are inclined to connect with others affectionately and use these connections as a safe place in time of stress or trouble (Sable, 2008). These attachments are primarily formed at birth with the primary caregiver, but can Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth, pioneers in the theory suggest that the theory continues throughout the lifespan. Ainsworth suggests in the “Strange situation” that there

Labeling theory focuses on the formal and informal application of stigmatization of deviant labels or social “tags” by society on some of its members. The process of labeling involves an engagement of “Social groups [that] create deviance by making the rules whose infraction constitutes deviance, and by applying those rules to particular people and labeling them as outsiders.
