jibs-contribution-framing
Use when turning results into an explicit contribution to international-business theory for a Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) manuscript — stating what the field learns about cross-border activity, why it is non-incremental, and its implications for IB theory, practice, and (per JIBS's mission) societal impact. Frames the claim; it does not run analysis (jibs-data-analysis) or position the literature (jibs-literature-positioning).

# Framing the IB Theoretical Contribution (jibs-contribution-framing) ## When to trigger - Results exist but the "so what for IB theory" is thin or implicit - A reviewer says "the contribution is incremental" or "this could be a single-country management paper" - You need explicit contribution sentences for the introduction and discussion - You must connect a robust finding to JIBS's phenomenon-and-impact mission ## The JIBS contribution bar JIBS expects every manuscript to (a) address a real-world **international-business phenomenon** and (b) state explicitly **what it contributes to IB theory**. Incremental extensions are discouraged. A finding that merely replicates a known management relationship in a new country does not clear the bar; the contribution must change how the field understands cross-border activity, the MNE, internationalization, cross-cultural interaction, or the global political economy. ## Build the contribution claim 1. **Name the IB theory you move.** Internalization/OLI, Uppsala/process, institutional distance/voids, springboard/LLL, cross-cultural value theory, or the IB political-economy lens — state which you extend, qualify, or overturn. 2. **State the c

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jibs-contribution-framing --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
