I would have gone +10 in these figures to separate production planning from true productivity decreases. Always possible there an ashenfelter dip on the right. Incentives to hit full in Business are high, and key mobility period is at associate.

Growing up in a 19th century northern farmhouse mostly heated by a wood stove, it was cold at night. 8 heavy quilts made for a nice weighted blanket, and yeah, it was the best way to sleep.

Thanks again to the authors for showing how a set of journals can collectively facilitate knowledge generation and dissemination. I'm grateful for the many organizations and journals that help support a broader cycle of understanding and improving organizations. 7.479/7

It's great to show AOM journals covering many parts of a cycle, but there are parts their (or any set of) journals don't cover. We should indeed go beyond "within paper" or "within scholar." But we should also explicitly show any cycle as going beyond the journals of specific orgs or fields. 7/7

I appreciate and agree with much of this piece, but would encourage future work to not bound the model or discussion at the org level. I would want emerging scholars to think of value cycles across orgs, fields, and disciplines. . . 6/7

Incorporating this makes for a much messier model figure without a clean cycle, but a more realistic/productive model for knowledge generation, dissemination, & application. Theoretically, it's not clear why the boundary of the firm/organization (AOM) is crucial here. 5/7

If the paper ends up at SMJ, @orgscience.bsky.social ASQ, JOM, ect., it should still remain in the cycle of AOM (and other) journals. Same with papers that are never submitted to AOM journals, from across fields & disciplines. They should remain part of this cycle, with no less importance. . .4/7

One problem is that orgs like AOM tend to lack redundancy across journals. That's understandable, but it highlights why noisy editorial decisions can exclude knowledge from this process. Great papers get rejected all the time. If AMJ/AMD rejects one, we don't want it leaving the cycle...(3/7)

It's understandable to conceptualize this cycle using only AOM journals, both for organizational and parsimony reasons, but it seems to me crucial to also discuss why such an AOM focus, even in an AOM journal, leaves big holes in what we would hope would be "full cycle." (2/7)
