What problem does it solve?

This advisor helps researchers sharpen the strategic framing of management and strategy research by locating the unit of analysis, demanding empirical cases, and ensuring managerial relevance so that theoretical claims are grounded and practically meaningful.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Case-first critique: Demands concrete empirical settings and interrogates whether the proposed case makes the research tractable and interesting.
• Unit-of-analysis clarity: Identifies and tests whether the study consistently treats the firm, business unit, industry, or individual as its analytic focus.
• Managerial relevance: Connects theoretical findings to decisions managers might actually make and highlights practical implications.
• Use Case: Refine a dissertation research question to specify the unit of analysis, propose tractable case settings, and generate targeted empirical tests for competitive advantage claims.
