Critical literature review
Part One
Developing and Writing Your Critical Literature Review
In this unit, you will formulate a research question and critically analyse relationships between research questions and methodologies.
Additionally, you will complete your Critical Literature Review and begin considering what methodology would best suit your research question.
In this Project, you will write a coherent, critical review of the literature on your chosen topic, in which you will:
Identify the gap that your research question intends to address.
Outline your research question and objectives. Note: You will include an indication of the research questions and objectives that your research will address at the end of your literature review.
Outline the study design and methods that are appropriate for addressing your identified objectives.
Utilise feedback obtained, from colleagues and your Faculty Member, during the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Shared Activities.
To prepare for the Unit 3 Project:
Read Unit 3 assigned readings, and review Unit 1 and 2 assigned readings.
Identify and examine a number of literature review articles published in peer-reviewed management journals that are relevant to your chosen research topic, with particular attention to the articles structure, organisation and format.
Review di"erent study designs and methodological approaches to data collection, and consider the most appropriate study design and methodologies to answer your research question.
Prepare the submission of your ethical form drafts on ethical considerations that impact your research, including ethical obligations to your participants, the organisation and/or setting where you will conduct your research, the management research community and the general public. Think about how you will address any potential ethical issues in your research and how this might impact your choice of research design and methods.
To complete your Unit 3 Project:
Prepare a Critical Literature Review, identifying your research question, aims and objectives, and outline your proposed research design/methods, comprising of a total of 1500 words (which include Part 1 and Part 2).
Part and Remember that your literature review should provide a coherent, well-organised narrative.
You should integrate as many of the research articles you found, as appropriate to support your arguments. Your literature review should address the following questions:
What have researchers reported about your research topic? What types of studies have been done? What were the findings? What epistemological perspectives served as the foundation for these studies?
What research approaches and methodologies were used, and why? How can the literature you reviewed inform the planning of your management research project?
At the end of your literature review, identify the gap in the literature. Then, state your research question (RQ), aim(s) and objectives. These should logically flow from your review of the litera
Clearly identify the gap in the literature that you identified, based on your literature review, that your research question intends to address (justify/provide a rationale for your choice of your research question and how your research question will allow you to address your research topic). Include your hypothesis/eses, if appropriate.
Remember, you need to consider whether your research question is of su cient scope to cover the topic.
Demonstrate that your research question is actually researchable and su ciently focused
to guide a feasible research study.
Part 1 of this Project should be approximately 1,100 words in length.
Part 2: d Methods
Provide a brief outline of your chosen research design/methodology and your rationale for selecting this particular methodology. Explain how it relates to your research question.
Briefly describe the strengths and limitations, regarding chosen research design/methodology, and why other methodologies would not be as useful or appropriate. Outline your study setting and target population.
Outline approach to sampling and how you will determine your sample size, if appropriate. Outline the data collection tools and techniques you will use as part of your chosen research methodology to address your research questions.
Identify any ethical issues involved in data collection using your chosen methods,
Part 2 of this Project should be approximately 400 words in length. Be sure to include references to all sources in Harvard Referencing Style.
Should remember its Harvard style of referencing.
