### Structure
1. **Phenomenon**: What innovation puzzle are we explaining?
2. **Theory**: What framework or mechanism explains it?
3. **Context**: What setting reveals the phenomenon?
4. **Evidence**: How do we support the theory?
5. **Contribution**: How does this advance innovation theory?
### Language
- Use **strategic constructs**: positioning, differentiation, advantage
- Emphasize **mechanisms**: "why" and "how"
- Bridge **theory and practice**: insight โ action
### Common Mistakes
โ Descriptive without theoretical contribution
โ Ignoring context and contingencies
โ No clear innovation mechanism
โ Missing strategic implications
