amj-topic-selection

separate

Use when scoping or sanity-checking a research question for an Academy of Management Journal (AMJ) manuscript — fit, theory-drivenness, and feasibility. Decides whether the idea can earn a theoretical contribution; it does not build the theory itself (use amj-theory-development) or position the literature (amj-literature-positioning).

When to use

• scoping a research question for AMJ
• sanity-checking AMJ fit
• evaluating theory-drivenness
• assessing feasibility of empirical design
• choosing divisional home
• pressure-testing fit before data collection

When not to use

• building the theory itself
• positioning the literature
• purely conceptual ideas
• pure methods or measurement papers
