I read a paper on a Java-based Unified Modelling Language (UML) applet today that might be helpful in developing OOM examples (Auer, 2003)
Auer, M., Tschurtschenthaler, T., & Biffi, S. (2003). A flyweight UML modelling tool for software development in heterogenous environments. Paper presented at the 29th EUROMICRO Conference "New waves in system architecture".
Weisfeld, M. (2009). The Object-Oriented Thought Process (3rd ed. Vol. Kindle). Upper Saddle River, NJ: Addison-Wesley.
I also started reading Weisfeld (2009), The Object Oriented Thought Process. I chose the Weisfeld book (downloaded to my Kindle) because of the author's approach to OOD as a thought process versus as a software design methodology. I believe that a similar approach will be needed to construct a theory of management.
I read an article by Corely & Gioia (2011) on building theory that provides a contribution to the practice of management versus a contribution to the theory of management. The argument that parallel previous articles on rigor vs. relevance in scientific papers seems to be taking hold in the minds of at least the editors of The Academy of Management Journal.
