Critical Literature Review
Most peer-reviewed journal articles include a literature review section near the beginning of the article. This section helps the reader become acquainted with previous research findings and prior theoretical development on a certain topic. The literature review helps put your topic in context of the existing body of research.
In this unit, you will conduct a critical literature review of your research topic. This critical literature review is a crucial step in determining how your research topic aligns with current research and theories. For example, does your research attempt to answer a question from a different perspective, or address a question in a different context, as compared to prior studies? Additionally, will your research findings potentially add new perspectives on a current theory and provide a unique application of knowledge to the business field?
In this Individual Assignment, you will conduct a critical review of the research literature on your chosen topic and examine the paradigms, theories and methodologies that relate to your topic.
