Drawing on my study note on the research gap-translation exercise to firm up on a research gap idea, I present an example on each of the four agile literature review approach (ALR) deliverables for an academic-oriented dissertation project as follows:
Deliverable 1: a research gap-translation diagram:
Research gaps |
Corresponding research objectives |
Research
gap item 1 (main): an inadequate empirical study of the internal innovation
barrier of "owner/ manager characteristics" with regard to the HK
BBB sector on AI applications. |
Research
objective 1 (main): to conduct empirical research in HK to gain more
understanding on the internal innovation barrier of "owner/ manager
characteristics" with regard to the HK BBB sector on AI
applications. |
Research
gap item 2 (main): a lack of conceptual agreement in the academic literature
on the internal innovation barrier of "firm characteristics",
especially with regard to the HK BBB sector on AI applications. |
Research
objective 2 (main): to conduct empirical research in HK to gain more
understanding (including conceptual agreement) on the internal innovation
barrier of "firm characteristics", especially with regard to the HK
BBB sector on AI applications. |
Research
gap item 3 (minor): Unclear academic methodologies for investigating the
internal innovation barrier of "innovation project] cost/ ROI
[evaluation]" especially with regard to the HK BBB sector on AI
applications. |
Research objective 3 (minor): to conduct
empirical research in HK to inform the development of a methodology for
investigating the internal innovation barrier of "[innovation project]
cost/ ROI [evaluation]" especially with regard to the HK BBB sector on AI applications.

Note: the core-focus-domain comprises the two main research objectives of 1 and 2.
Deliverable 3a: theoretical framework-A
Note: the illustrative example of theoretical framework makes use of the diagram obtained via Google search (re: the source). In actual practice, a customized theoretical framework should be the output of the idea synthesis effort from the research project student.
Deliverable 3b: the academic literature review tree
Deliverable 4: theoretical framework-B
A related reading: on the theory measurement unit of the theory-based research gap-translation process.
