Individual skill
amr-literature-positioning
Use when you must identify which theoretical conversation an Academy of Management Review (AMR) manuscript enters and how it "challenges and extends" that conversation. Positions the argument within a literature; it does NOT summarize the field (AMR punishes review-essays) and does NOT build the new theory (that is amr-theory-development).

# Literature Positioning: Whose Conversation, and How You Challenge It (amr-literature-positioning)
## When to trigger
- You have a puzzle but cannot name the theory stream you are arguing with
- Your literature section reads like a survey ("scholars have studied...")
- You cite broadly but engage no single conversation deeply
- A reader asks "so which theory are you extending, exactly?"
## The principle: engage, don't summarize
AMR is a journal of *conversations*. Every accepted paper enters a specific theoretical
conversation and moves it. The literature section is not a catalog of who-did-what — it is
the **set-up of the tension** your theory will resolve. Two questions govern everything:
