Individual skill
amr-methods
Use when choosing and applying a theory-construction method for an Academy of Management Review (AMR) manuscript — building constructs, defining their domain, specifying relationships, articulating the underlying logic/mechanisms, and setting boundary conditions. This is the THEORY-CONSTRUCTION craft, NOT empirical method; AMR publishes no datasets, no measures, and no statistical tests.

# Theory-Construction Method (amr-methods)
> **AMR publishes NO empirical data.** There are no samples, no measures, no estimation,
> and no results. "Method" here means the *craft of building theory*: how you construct
> constructs, derive relationships, ground mechanisms, and bound the theory. If your
> project needs data to make its point, it belongs at AMJ / ASQ / SMJ.
## When to trigger
- Constructs and propositions exist but the *way* they were built feels ad hoc
- A reviewer would ask "where did this construct's domain come from?"
- The theory needs a more disciplined construction approach than intuition
- You need to choose among theory-building styles for your puzzle
