Literature Review Instructions:
This is a group assessment with a maximum of 3 members.
Each group is required to select a topic from a number of
Corporate Finance topics and write a literature review.
The topics are as follows.

· Capital Structure
· Dividend Policy
· Corporate Governance
· Initial Public Offerings (IPO)
· Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)
There are 10 suggested article readings for each of the topic
above. After reading these suggested articles, students should
be able to pick up some ideas on the development of the
theories related to these topics. Note that these articles are
recommendations only. Students may use none of the suggested
reading articles.
Please go through the Suggested Way to Write a Critical
Literature Review.
The presentation of the literature review should be in 1.5 lines
spacing and 12pt font.
Although there is no minimum words limit for the literature
review, it should not be less than 8 to 10 pages (excluding
tables, graphs and references).
Please have one nominate member to submit the written
document once with all members’ names on the document
through Turnitin on the Blackboard.
Please note: Plagiarism is a serious offence. Plagiarism occurs
when work or property of another person is presented as one's
own, without appropriate acknowledgement or referencing.
Work submitted will be all subjected to a plagiarism detection
process, which will include the use of systems such as
‘Turnitin’ (you need to have less than 20% similarity excluding
the reference for your report). If plagiarism is detected in a
literature review, all the students in the group will receive zero
for this assessment and your names will be reported to the

School of Economics and Finance. So, please do not copy!
Please do share the workload for this assessment with your
group members as it is a group assignment. Members of the
group should contribute evenly to the literature review.
Please also retain your electronic copy until the final exam
finishes for further reference.
