Individual skill
jibs-contribution-framing
Use when turning results into an explicit contribution to international-business theory for a Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) manuscript — stating what the field learns about cross-border activity, why it is non-incremental, and its implications for IB theory, practice, and (per JIBS's mission) societal impact. Frames the claim; it does not run analysis (jibs-data-analysis) or position the literature (jibs-literature-positioning).

# Framing the IB Theoretical Contribution (jibs-contribution-framing)
## When to trigger
- Results exist but the "so what for IB theory" is thin or implicit
- A reviewer says "the contribution is incremental" or "this could be a single-country management paper"
- You need explicit contribution sentences for the introduction and discussion
- You must connect a robust finding to JIBS's phenomenon-and-impact mission
## The JIBS contribution bar
JIBS expects every manuscript to (a) address a real-world **international-business phenomenon** and (b) state explicitly **what it contributes to IB theory**. Incremental extensions are discouraged. A finding that merely replicates a known management relationship in a new country does not clear the bar; the contribution must change how the field understands cross-border activity, the MNE, internationalization, cross-cultural interaction, or the global political economy.
