# Strategic Management Journal Workflow (smj-workflow)

## Overview

This is the router. It does not do the work of any specialized skill — it tells you **which smj-* skill to use right now** given where your manuscript stands.

Default assumption: unless you say otherwise, the target is the **Strategic Management Journal (SMJ)** — the flagship strategy journal published by Wiley for the Strategic Management Society (SMS), founded 1980 and led by four **Co-Editors** (current slate, pinned 2026-06-23: Agarwal, Benner, Gaba, and Silverman; roster rotates, so verify the live SMS masthead). SMJ wants a clear contribution to **strategy theory** (firm performance, competitive advantage) backed by rigorous, identification-aware empirics. It is highly selective (third-party estimates ~7% acceptance — UNVERIFIED), uses **double-blind** review, and requires **two abstracts** (research summary + managerial summary, ≤125 words each), **five keywords**, and **APA** references within a ~40-page budget. Generic "management" framing and unaddressed endogeneity are the two fastest paths to rejection. If the paper's engine is entrepreneurship or internationalization, the SMS siblings **SEJ** or **GSJ** may fit better than SMJ.

## When to trigger

- "What should I do next?" on an SMJ-targeted paper
- You have a draft and need to find the binding constraint
- You keep bouncing between theory, methods, and writing without a plan
- You received SMJ reviewer comments and need to switch into revision mode
