Abstract
AbstractBest practice advice for literature reviews abounds, yet little advice is available for how to infuse a literature review with theory‐generative insights that break out of knowledge silos. To address this issue, we provide guidance on reviewing a range of literature for theory‐generative insights through a process of knowledge transfers from a source domain onto a target domain. To do so, mainly building on work concerned with analogical reasoning, we put forward a ‘breakout’ review model, which consists of three iterative stages. While we illustrate the process model in a supply chain management context, we aim to assist any organizational scholar interested in exploring cross‐disciplinary literature for new ways of thinking.
