msom-literature-positioning
Use when positioning a Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (M&SOM) manuscript within the operations-management literature — engaging the canonical OM streams (inventory, queueing, supply-chain contracting, revenue management, service operations, empirical OM), selecting the target editorial Department, and stating the operational conversation the paper joins.

# Literature Positioning (msom-literature-positioning)
## When to trigger
- Your front end reads as "no one has studied X" rather than joining an OM conversation
- A reviewer says the relevant operations stream is not engaged
- You are unsure which of the six Departments the related work points to
- You need to distinguish your contribution from close OM antecedents
## Join an operations conversation, not a generic gap
M&SOM positions itself as the **premier journal for the operations management research community**. Position the paper inside the established OM streams it speaks to — e.g., inventory/supply-chain (newsvendor, base-stock, contracting and coordination), queueing and service operations, revenue management and pricing, platforms and matching, sustainable/healthcare operations, or empirical/data-driven OM. State the **operational conversation** you join and what you change in it, rather than claiming a void.
