Purpose of the Assessment<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The purpose of this assignment is to undertake a literature review in relation to a critical issue for organisations and\/or leadership. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A\u00a0<\/span>literature review<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>is a critical analysis of published sources on a particular topic. It is an assessment of the\u00a0<\/span>literature<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and provides a summary, classification, comparison and evaluation. U<\/span>ndertaking a critical review of literature is a key component <\/span>for postgraduate study<\/span>. It allows you to demonstrate the depth of your research, highlight your ability to question, compare and contrast and analyse a range of theories and texts in relation to your topic.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why do we write literature reviews<\/span><\/u>?<\/span><\/h2>\n

A literature review allows you to demonstrate your understanding of the literature on a particular topic. You show your understanding by analysing and then synthesising the information to:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Determine what has already been written on a topic<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Provide an overview of key concepts<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Identify major relationships or patterns<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Identify strengths and weaknesses<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Identify any gaps in the research<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Identify any conflicting evidence<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Provide a solid background to further research <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    All of the above will be required for your Business Research Report so this is a good opportunity to develop your research skills in a topic that is of interest to you<\/span><\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Assessment Task<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n
