The term typology is used to refer to a set of types developed on an a priori conceptual basis to operate as, and serve the purposes of, a theory. These constructs may be of an ideal nature or they may to varying degrees be intended to reflect the actual nature of the real world. These conceptual typologies are viewed as theories, and they may be good or not so good just like any other theory. Taxonomies, on the other hand, are empirically derived clusterings developed through multivariate analysis of existing data.

Different situations may result in different attributions about the same acts. It is the nature of the attribution, not the behavior itself which is related to effectiveness (196)—micro.

The bases for the rivalry will be 1. competition for resources for projects in process and/or 2. status-based competition between specialists from different disciplines. There will be moderate to low levels of vertical conflict in organic organizations (110)—meso.
