- The paper has technical material but the "so what" is thin
POM's central acceptance question is whether the work is of significant interest to practicing operations managers and makes a substantial contribution to knowledge and practice. Frame both, explicitly — a contribution that advances theory but offers no operational lever, or improves an operational metric with no generalizable insight, sits below the bar.
Convert comparative statics, coefficients, or model accuracy into operational consequences: cost saved, fill rate gained, waiting time cut, disruption risk reduced. POM reviewers and the practice-oriented award culture (e.g., the Cheryl Gaimon Best Innovation Paper and Wickham Skinner awards, tied to POMS and the Annual Conference) reward insight that an operations manager can act on.
Treat this skill as an executable review pass, not a prose hint. First lock the operational decision, the performance metric, and the implementable lever; then judge whether the current manuscript answers the venue's real reader: POM reviewers who want operational insight tied to production, service, supply-chain, or platform decisions.
