It is a special form of information gathering where you present the known body of knowledge relevant to the issue(s) or problem(s) you are addressing

The literature review is NOT just a string of authors, names, pages and references. It is structured as if you are developing an argument explaining why you need to undertake your research. Possibly, you might point to: a gap in the literature, oran issue or question that needs more evidence or research.

A strong suggestion is to follow the following format:

1. Introduction to Literature Review

Start with introduction which includes a list of the topic you will do a literature review on, what your hypotheses are from these topics that you are starting out with (what you think is true about the topics).

E.g. I believe outsourcing for IT services I still growing and providing better quality for companies.
