Core-focus domain tactics in the agile literature review approach

Core-focus domain tactics in the agile literature review approach. The tactics are as follows:

Tactic 1

*** the two core-focus domain research tasks deal with research topics that are insufficiently sophisticated (i.e. two small research tasks)

Tactic 2

*** core-focus domain covers only 1 research task (though a big research task for that).

Tactic 3

*** the core-focus domain covers three big research tasks, thus the whole dissertation project is not sufficiently focused on specific research themes.


Tactic 4

** The core-focus domain covers one big research task. Since real-world problems are unlikely to be one-sole-theme related, the theoretical framework is "ivory tower" in nature, not sufficiently applied business research in stance.

Tactic 5

*** The core-focus domain also covers a "business performance"-related research task; it is unnecessary.


Tactic 6

*** it is unlikely that the environmental-driver"-related research task can constitute an insightful core-focus domain topic. As a result, the overall dissertation theme is single-theme in essence, thus tends to be ivory-tower in stance. If the core-focus-domain research task is a small one, it becomes a quite serious research topic limitation.



Tactic 7

*** The core-focus domain with 2 big research tasks is in most situations, the best core-focus domain tactic.
