The "complicated understanding" orientation of the Agile Literature Review Approach

The "complicated understanding" orientation (CUO) of the Agile Literature Review Approach is based on the following two learning attitude commitments:

Commitment 1: Develop a complicated understanding of the problem-situation and the chosen set of management concerns  [for the dissertation project] facing the client system as embedded in the problem-situation. This commitment is mainly employed in the problem-exploration phase of a research project].

Commitment 2: Develop a complicated intellectual response to the chosen set of management concerns for the researcher's dissertation project. This commitment is primarily adopted in the literature review phase of a research project].

Th CUO guides the ALRA-based dissertation project works on the project orientation phase, continuous problem-exploration, literature review and research investigation, among others. The CUO alerts to the high tendency of restrictiveness (e.g., perception blind-spots of all sorts) in the researcher's and client management's boundary judgement on management problem definition, research objective formulation and literature scope determination. Besides, from the standpoint of formulating a proper dissertation proposal, the research problem definition and literature review scope should not be too narrow (and the project topic too simple).
