amr-literature-positioning

separate

Use when you must identify which theoretical conversation an Academy of Management Review (AMR) manuscript enters and how it "challenges and extends" that conversation. Positions the argument within a literature; it does NOT summarize the field (AMR punishes review-essays) and does NOT build the new theory (that is amr-theory-development).

When to use

• Identify which theoretical conversation an AMR manuscript enters
• Determine how a manuscript challenges and extends a conversation
• Position an argument within a literature
• Name the primary theoretical stream
• Define constructs built on or revised
• Select a positioning move

When not to use

• Summarize the field
• Build the new theory
• Write a review-essay
• Select a topic
