Dave Ulrich, Human Resource champions,
(Harvard University Press), p. 237
“CK Prahlad, a world renowned professor of strategy, meets
frequently with groups of HR executives. He claims that one
reason HR has not become pivotal to business as it should
be is that HR often lacks knowledge of theory. Theory
explains why events happen. Theory provides
explanations based on logic for how events relate to each
other. Theory weaves individual events into predictable
and generalizable patterns.
