The three deliverables of the agile literature review approach (ALRA) for academic-oriented projects & the AI tool's support

 The three deliverables of the agile literature review approach (ALRA) for academic-oriented MBA projects and the AI tool's support for their construction

Deliverable 1: Research gap-objective table: the research gap-objective table states the research gap items of the dissertation project, as arrived at via the research gap analysis. Research objective statements are derived from the research gap statements. This table should be inserted into chapter 1 (introduction) of a dissertation project.

Research gap-objective table

Research gap items to be addressed (main and minor)	Associated research objectives
Research gap (main) item 1	Research objective 1 (main)
Research gap (main) item 2	Research objective 2 (main)
Research gap (minor) item 3	Research objective 3 (minor)
Research gap (minor) item 4	Research objective 3 (minor)
Etc….	Etc….

AI tool support: use perplexity.ai to identify research gaps use chatpdf.com to identify research gaps at the individual article level; use poe.com to develop concise research gap statements.

*** note: scite.ai is more powerful than perplexity.ai for literature review tasks, but more expensive to use.

Deliverable 2: the academic literature review tree (ALRT) This diagram should be inserted into chapter 2 (Literature review) of a dissertation report.

AI tool support: use perplexity.ai to help identifying academic ideas to use. use chatpdf.com to help identify academic ideas at the individual article level.

Deliverable 3: The academic literature review tree-b is the academic literature review tree (deliverable 2) with mapped-on research methods. It is the output of the research methodology formulation exercise by the student. Subsequently, it is inserted in the dissertation report, Chapter 3 (research methodology). The framework is illustrated in the following diagram:

The academic literature review tree-b, shown as follows:

AI tool support: use poe.com to (i) generate a dissertation proposal with research methods specified and (ii) suggest more concrete research methods design; the research methods are to be mapped onto the academic literature review tree (deliverable 2). The poe.com-generated proposal should be able to indicate which research method is related to which research objective.
