JOM Theory Development
Constructs rigorous theoretical frameworks, mechanisms, and hypotheses tailored for Journal of Operations Management (JOM) submissions.
JOM Theory Development guides academic researchers through building robust, a priori theoretical arguments and hypotheses for empirical operations management research. Designed specifically for the Journal of Operations Management (JOM), this skill helps researchers adapt reference theories (such as TCE, RBV, or behavioral decision theory) to operational settings, correctly align theoretical mechanisms (behavioral, operational, or organizational) with empirical data, and formulate testable mediation and moderation structures while avoiding desk-reject pitfalls like HARKing or generic management theorizing.
