The legitimate reasons why items in a management-concerns diagram are fewer than that in the theoretical framework (ALRA)

The legitimate reasons why items in a management-concerns diagram are fewer than that in the theoretical framework (ALRA) in MBA dissertation works:

In the agile literature review approach (ALRA), the management-concerns diagram takes stock of a set of related management concerns items as a co-created output of the researcher and a few stakeholders in a case study. These management concerns are the ones to be responded to intellectually as depicted in the corresponding theoretical framework (starting from level-0). The question is, what can be the legitimate reasons that the corresponding theoretical framework has fewer items that that of the management-concerns diagram. Here, I offer two legitimate reasons: 

Reason 1. If two management-concerns items belong to the same management topic (e.g. challenges arising from the deteriorating supply chain landscape), then the two management-concerns items can be consolidated (maybe also with the expansionism rationale) to become one theoretical framework item. 

Reason 2: the management-concerns item (a clarifying management-concerns item [cmci]) appears in the management-concerns diagram mainly to further clarify the nature of another significant management-concerns item (a significant management-concerns item [smci]). In this case the cmci itself will not be directly transformed into a theoretical framework item in the theoretical framework.
