ASQ Literature Positioning
Positions organization-theory manuscripts within specific scholarly conversations and sharpens theoretical tensions for Administrative Science Quarterly submissions.
The ASQ Literature Positioning skill guides academic researchers in framing their literature reviews for Administrative Science Quarterly (ASQ) and top-tier organization theory journals. Rather than producing generic annotated bibliographies, it helps authors identify core scholarly debates, steelman prevailing assumptions, locate theoretical tensions, and engage canonical lineages such as Carnegie-school decision-making, institutional theory, and organizational ecology. It is especially useful when transforming list-like literature sections into tight, argumentative reviews that explicitly carve out theoretical contributions and handle competing or adjacent literature effectively.
