Individual skill
jibs-writing-style
Use when polishing the prose of a Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) manuscript — a phenomenon-forward narrative, an explicit IB contribution, disciplined cross-cultural terminology, the inclusive word budget, and JIBS Style Guide conventions (11-pt Times New Roman, double-spaced, author-date). Polishes language; it does not fix a thin contribution (jibs-contribution-framing) or weak analysis (jibs-data-analysis).

# Writing in JIBS House Style (jibs-writing-style)
## When to trigger
- The argument is settled and the manuscript needs a full prose pass
- Prose buries the phenomenon, the IB contribution, or the cross-level logic
- Terminology about countries/cultures is loose or risks essentializing
- You are over the inclusive word limit and must cut without losing the argument
## Lead with the phenomenon, deliver the IB contribution
JIBS is phenomenon-driven. Open by anchoring the reader in a concrete cross-border problem, then state — early and explicitly — what the paper contributes to **IB theory**. The reader should know within the first page why this is an *international*-business question that no single-country study could answer. Mirror that contribution statement in the discussion (promised vs. delivered).
## Respect the inclusive word budget
