The relationship between MPSB Research and Literature Review

MPSB Research is about reviewing various business disciplines  based on Critical Systems Thinking to make advancement in the theoretical development of Systems Thinking. It is apparent that such a reviewing process is closely related to the topic of literature review in the subject of Research Methods. I venture to describe the role of literature in the following diagram:


In this diagram, I emphasize the importance of using e-library to conduct literature review; the process is at the same time an MPSB knowledge compilation process, resulting in the construction of a theoretical framework that is essentially an MPSB framework. Such a framework is grounded in critical systems thinking. The MPSB framework is produced by the researcher which can  be described in the form of a root definition (with specific CATWOE elements) in Soft Systems Methodology terms. The diagram also reminds us of the critical awareness of the context of such a literature review exercise.
