Leveraging Context: Re-Thinking Research Processes to Make “Contributions to Theory”

The author thanks the senior editor and associate editor for excellent suggestions throughout the review process. Both reviewers provided excellent feedback and guidance that shaped the manuscript. The author also thanks the entire panel that raised critical issues and asked incisive questions but provided the author the freedom to express his views while addressing the issues and comments; Dr. Ruba Aljafari for being the second coder of the contributions; and Dr. Santhosh Srinivas for help in getting the citation counts. A number of scholars contributed by providing feedback on earlier versions and the author also presented these ideas in several universities and is grateful for the feedback received.
