For theory (conceptualization) Go beyond the description of main concepts in your own words:
contrast and compare different arguments, typically using insights from different papers with
different emphasis and authors with different approaches / views
For empirical case study is a good way. Find case studies on these insights that can help strengthen the
paper. (Also figures, graphs, tables are great)
