Writing literature review for the theoretical frameworks level 0 and level 1a

Writing up literature review for the theoretical frameworks level 0 and level 1a (with academic key words) in the agile literature review approach

Activity 1

Using your compiled study note for a specific theoretical framework component , present your literature review ideas in the following sequence:

Step 1. A discussion on the definitions and major concept typologies as related to the theoretical framework component; then indicate your own standpoint and specific preference on them as related to your present project work.

Step 2. A discussion on the main research interests and research gaps in the academic literature; then discuss your own preference on research interests and how you are going to deal with the relevant research gaps in the academic literature so as to proceed with your own investigation.

Step 3. An indication of specific research tasks you intend to perform that make use of the academic ideas, notably on specific analytical concepts and techniques, and viewpoints as presented in steps 1 and 2.

Activity 2: move on to write literature review on the next theoretical framework component

***** 

(a) make sure your overall discussion is directed at informing you how to perform your theoretical framework component task: e..g. to evaluate the innovation capability status of ABC Ltd' to evaluate the managerial leadership competence status of XYZ Ltd.

(b) as your literature review study note on a specific theoretical framework component also covers concept definitions, research interests and gaps, and analytical concepts and techniques, you should find it very useful to write up your literature review chapter. If not, you need to do additional literature review to enhance the content of your study note.

(c) your discussion on a particular component is likely to touch on how your ideas about your theoretical framework component contributes to the discussion of the related components in other parts of your theoretical framework.

(d) Length of your discussion depends on whether the component is a core-focus one or not: the length of your writing for a core-focus component should be much longer than that of a non-core-focus one.
