jibs-contribution-framing

separate

Use when turning results into an explicit contribution to international-business theory for a Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) manuscript — stating what the field learns about cross-border activity, why it is non-incremental, and its implications for IB theory, practice, and (per JIBS's mission) societal impact. Frames the claim; it does not run analysis (jibs-data-analysis) or position the literature (jibs-literature-positioning).

When to use

• stating what the field learns about cross-border activity
• explaining why the contribution is non-incremental
• articulating implications for IB theory, practice, and societal impact
• framing explicit contribution sentences for introduction and discussion
• connecting robust findings to JIBS's phenomenon-and-impact mission
• addressing thin or implicit 'so what for IB theory' statements
• responding to reviewer comments about incremental contributions
• building contribution claims for JIBS manuscripts

When not to use

• running analysis
• positioning the literature
