This special issue seeks original research that transforms previously published managerial implications from Academy of Management journals into validated, actionable solutions. Rather than leaving implications as speculative statements, the issue invites scholars to conduct rigorous empirical or conceptual research that develops evidence-based guidance for practitioners and policy makers on real-world problems of practice and policy.

The special issue reflects the Academy of Management's commitment to producing not just valid knowledge but also knowledge that is usable outside academia. Papers should build on theory from AOM journals while enhancing these theories by revealing their practical boundaries and nuances, ultimately strengthening the relevance and value of management scholarship.
