smj-writing-style
Use for late-stage prose polish of a Strategic Management Journal (SMJ) manuscript — clarity, structure, and house style. Improves the writing; it does not change the theory, analysis, or contribution claim.

# Writing Style & House Conventions (smj-writing-style)
## When to trigger
- Theory, analysis, and contribution are settled and you are polishing the full draft
- Prose is jargon-heavy, hedged, or buries the argument
- Section structure does not follow the expected strategy-empirical arc
- Reviewers flagged readability, redundancy, or an unclear through-line
> Polish late. Editing prose while the identification strategy or contribution is unsettled wastes effort — return to the earlier skills first.
## Expected structure (full empirical paper)
Introduction → Theory & Hypotheses → Methods (sample, measures, identification) → Results → Discussion (contribution, implications, limitations, future research) → References. Theory-building qualitative and formal papers vary this arc but still foreground the strategy contribution early.
