“To ask, or not to ask…”: In Search of Interesting Theoretical Contribution in the Field of Management and Organization Studies and the Role of Research Question

The purpose of this paper is to underscore the potential importance of research question for providing interesting theoretical contribution and confer guidance on how research questions having that potential can be developed. Recent studies agreed upon the fact that prevalent methods used for developing research questions are failing to provide interesting theoretical contribution and called for the need on more innovative approaches. Embarking from the dilemma caused by gap-spotting -traditional research question development approach- problematization which is said to be more innovative, is offered as an alternative way for developing research questions for providing interesting theoretical contribution.
