DevelopmentalReview Process • Identify “kernel of contribution” versus search for reasons to reject. • Explain “how & why” current approach is poor. • Suggest improvements / new approaches that enhance contribution. • If fatal flaw precludes publication, describe problem in detail.
Major Reasons for Rejection • Research question not interesting • Poorly motivated; importance not established • Unclear “Contributions” to theory / practice • Poor conceptual development • Underdeveloped construct definitions • Unconvincing logic; lacks overarching theoretical framework • Research design / measurement inappropriate
Reviewer’s Perspective • “The research merely empirically describes this setting…there are no broad principles and nothing to generalize”. • “This study’s theoretical foundation is inadequate…the author’s arguments are simply speculations without any logical basis”.
Reviewer’s Perspective • “…constructs are not properly defined or labeled…there is a great deal of ambiguity”. • “Sample is limited to small and medium-sized exporters without a rationale. Hypotheses seem more relevant to larger exporters with resources…the findings are confounded by firm size issues.”
