I hope you all enjoyed the Christmas holidays ...let us come back to our main business.
Today I am giving you some important tips for improving the value of your literature review and a check list of matter that is expected in every literature review.
When you write a literature review for your dissertations.....
1. You must concentrate on a very recent literature available in the field of study(3-5 years).
2. In a 5000 words literature review...leave at least 1500 words for questionnaire related literature. for example employee satisfaction, resistance to change , communication,training on job, work environment so on.
3. Try to make multiple referencing as and when possible ( Yin , 1999;Saunders,2007), which make it more authentic .
4. Provide sufficient headings ( sub-headings are not compulsory).
5. Try to write the literature review in the order of research objectives , over all a head , body and tail approach is expected.
6. Criticisms of every concept , existing in the literature is highly expected and a literature without critical remarks from eminent authors ( not you ...!) will let you down on improving your grade.
7. summarise the whole literature review sufficiently and provide if possible a conceptual frame work ( popular in 2011-2012).
In order to keep you remain focused , read through the check list and improve your literature review..... I will come back later with an introduction to the great research methodology.....till then with your permission....
Good bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!
