jibs-topic-selection

separate

Use when choosing or sharpening a research question for a Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) manuscript — testing whether it is a genuine international-business phenomenon with country/culture as a level of analysis, and whether JIBS (vs. AMJ/SMJ/JWB) is the right venue. Locks the question; it does not build the mechanism (jibs-theory-development).

When to use

• Choosing a research question for JIBS
• Sharpening a research question for JIBS
• Testing if a topic is a genuine international-business phenomenon
• Deciding between JIBS and adjacent journals
• Evaluating country/culture as a level of analysis
• Running a phenomenon stress test
• Scoring fit, novelty, and evidence readiness
• Routing to AMJ, SMJ, JWB, MIR, or GSJ

When not to use

• Building the mechanism
• jibs-theory-development
