摘要：
This chapter articulates criteria for evaluating the quality of a theory. It also shows how the criteria can be used to pinpoint the strengths and weaknesses of a theory that, based upon citation evidence, appears to have had a significant impact on other researchers within the information systems discipline. Aside from their evaluation purposes, the criteria are also intended to inform researchers who are seeking to build high-quality theory to account for some type of phenomena within the information systems domain. Nothing is as practical as a good theory. (Lewin, 1945, p. 129)
