pom-literature-positioning

Use when positioning a Production and Operations Management (POM) manuscript within an operations conversation — against the target Department's prior work and adjacent OM journals (M&SOM, Management Science, Operations Research, JOM). Positions the paper; it does not build the model (pom-theory-development) or state the contribution (pom-contribution-framing).

# Literature Positioning (pom-literature-positioning)

## When to trigger

- The front end reads as gap-spotting ("no one has modeled X")
- Reviewers from the target Department will know a literature you have not engaged
- You must distinguish a same-data or closely related paper from prior work
- You are unsure whether POM (vs. a narrower venue) is the right home

## Position within the right Department's conversation

Because POM routes to a named **Department**, positioning is department-specific: a Behavioral Operations paper joins a different conversation than a Supply Chain Management or Healthcare Operations paper, even with similar methods. Anchor first in the relevant OM stream, then in the method or application literature. Engage the canonical work that the Department Editor and reviewers will expect.
