Nankai Business Review Theoretical Gap Formulator
Articulates rigorous theoretical gaps and academic contributions tailored to the publication standards of Nankai Business Review.
The Nankai Business Review Theoretical Gap Formulator (nbr-theory-gap) helps management researchers transform superficial empirical relationship statements into robust theoretical contributions. Designed specifically for the high editorial standards of 《南开管理评论》 (Nankai Business Review), this skill evaluates gaps across a four-tier intensity scale (G0 to G3), identifies explanatory, mechanistic, or boundary-level deficiencies in existing management theories, and establishes cohesive narrative alignment across paper introductions, hypotheses, and discussions.
Key Features
01Evaluates theoretical gap strength across a G0 to G3 scale to eliminate incremental framing
02Structures contributions into concrete forms such as new concepts, propositions, analytical frameworks, and boundary conditions
