Books on theory building

Please recommend your favourite books on theory building.

I'd like to improve my approach to theory in my research (which is in the business field, but that's probably not important). Bonus points for texts with tips on viewing research problems in terms of theoretical solution or conceptualization.

How to Build Social Science Theories - Tankard is one of the authors - is what my social science doctoral program uses in our theory class.
