pom-contribution-framing

Use when framing the contribution of a Production and Operations Management (POM) manuscript — stating the managerial insight for practicing operations managers and the advance to OM knowledge, tied to the target Department. Frames the contribution; it does not run the analysis (pom-data-analysis) or polish prose (pom-writing-style).

# Contribution Framing (pom-contribution-framing)

## When to trigger

- The paper has technical material but the "so what" is thin
- A reviewer says the contribution is incremental or "not relevant to practice"
- The managerial takeaway is implicit and editors must infer it
- You have results but cannot say in one sentence what a manager does differently

## POM's twin gate: knowledge AND practice

POM's central acceptance question is whether the work is of **significant interest to practicing operations managers** *and* makes a **substantial contribution to knowledge and practice**. Frame both, explicitly — a contribution that advances theory but offers no operational lever, or improves an operational metric with no generalizable insight, sits below the bar.
