separate

Use when positioning an Organization Science manuscript in the literature — identifying the organization-theory conversation it joins, problematizing rather than gap-spotting, and integrating across the disciplines (organization theory, strategy, sociology, economics, psychology) the journal draws on.

When to use

• Positioning an Organization Science manuscript
• Identifying the organization-theory conversation
• Problematizing rather than gap-spotting
• Integrating across organization theory, strategy, sociology, economics, and psychology
• Building a three-column map of incumbent conversation, unresolved tension, and manuscript delta
• Comparing against AMJ, ASQ, and Management Science
• Checking resources/official-source-map.md for upload-week rules

When not to use

• Summarizing everything and arguing nothing
• Gap-spotting with no challenged assumption
• Ignoring the sibling literature at the other level of analysis
• Citing a discipline's theory without translating it to an organizational problem
