amr-topic-selection

separate

Use when the theoretical puzzle is the bottleneck for an Academy of Management Review (AMR) manuscript — deciding whether an idea is theory-worthy and AMR-fit before any theorizing begins. Frames the puzzle; it does NOT build constructs (that is amr-theory-development) or design any empirical study (AMR has none).

When to use

• Deciding if an idea is theory-worthy
• Checking AMR fit
• Framing a theoretical puzzle
• Identifying theoretical tension
• Evaluating conceptual nature of idea
• Assessing if idea changes how scholars think
• Determining if scope is a journal article

When not to use

• Building constructs
• Designing empirical studies
• Collecting data
• Running empirical tests
• Literature positioning
• Theory development
