jmgmt-contribution-framing
Use when turning results into an explicit theoretical contribution for a Journal of Management (JOM) manuscript — the "what new theory do we learn?" statement and the discussion section. Frames the contribution; it does not build the original theory (jmgmt-theory-development) or run the analysis (jmgmt-data-analysis).

# Contribution Framing & Discussion (jmgmt-contribution-framing)
## When to trigger
- Results are in but the "so what for theory" is vague or missing
- The discussion restates findings instead of advancing the theory
- A reviewer says the contribution is "incremental," "descriptive," or "unclear"
- You can describe what you found but not what the field now knows that it did not before
- A meta-analysis reports corrected effects but never says what theory they settle
- The practical-implications paragraph is generic ("managers should pay attention to X")
## The contribution question JOM asks
JOM's gate is the **theoretical contribution**: *what do we now understand about the theory that we did not before?* Strong results with no theoretical advance read as a technical report, not a JOM paper — and that is true for empirical papers *and* for meta-analyses/reviews, which must move theory, not merely tally effects. Because JOM is a general-management journal, the best contributions also **travel across subfields**: a mechanism uncovered in HR that informs strategy or entrepreneurship is exactly the kind of cross-cutting advance JOM prizes.
