jbv-contribution-framing

Use when turning results or a theory into an explicit contribution for the Journal of Business Venturing (JBV) — stating what new theory of the entrepreneurial phenomenon the paper delivers, its boundary conditions, and its multidisciplinary reach. Frames the claim; it does not build the mechanism (jbv-theory-development) or polish the prose (jbv-writing-style).

# Contribution Framing (jbv-contribution-framing)

## When to trigger

- Results exist but the "so what for entrepreneurship theory" is thin or implicit
- A reviewer or handling editor calls the contribution "incremental" or "a setting, not a contribution"
- You cannot state in one sentence what the field now knows about entrepreneurship that it did not
- You need to write the contribution paragraph of the intro and the theoretical-implications section

## The JBV contribution bar

JBV is a discipline-defining FT50 flagship, so the theory bar is high: the paper must **clarify assumptions, expose tensions, or challenge orthodoxies** about the entrepreneurial phenomenon. State the contribution explicitly — it cannot be left implicit.

- **Phenomenon-centered**: the contribution must be to understanding entrepreneurship — venture creation, entrepreneurial cognition/behavior, financing, teams, social/sustainable/international entrepreneurship, or ecosystems — not a generic organizational insight that merely used a startup sample.
