MBA 525 – Review of Literature
Assignment Description
You are required to write a 15-page (minimum), double-spaced Review of Literature (ROL) on an
instructor-approved topic related to the course. The ROL is an academic paper following APA writing and
citation guidelines. The paper includes a critical analysis of the relationship among different works
(articles). You must use at least 10 scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles to build your ROL.
Purpose
The general purpose for writing a literature review is to critically analyze and summarize the published
knowledge related to a specific narrowed topic. Most reviews summarize, classify, and compare and
contrast the information found in peer-reviewed journal articles. A well-written ROL should identify the
thought leaders in the given field as well as present a clear idea of what is known, not known, and still
needs to be known.
Requirements
No earlier than the beginning of Module 3, and no later than the conclusion of Module 5, the instructor
must approve your proposed topic for the ROL. Topic submission must include a specific purpose
statement and two supporting peer-reviewed journal article citations in APA format. Submit this to your
instructor via email. The earlier your topic is approved, the more time you will have to complete the
paper.
When selecting your topic, review those covered in the Corporate Communications textbook and the
module materials. Your ROL topic must relate directly to the course material. Be certain that your topic is
timely, represents contemporary business issues, and is of interest to you and your career path. You will
find that with timely, current topics that the discussion is still being debated by authors and researchers.
The final paper must adhere to APA 6th edition writing style and format, including title page, abstract and
citation page (references). It must be a minimum of 15 pages, double-spaced, and reference at least 10
scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles.
Review process
Similar to primary research, development of the literature review requires four stages:
• Problem formulation—which topic or field is being examined and what are its component issues?
• Literature search—finding materials relevant to the subject being explored.
• Data evaluation—determining which literature makes a significant contribution to the
understanding of the topic.
• Analysis and interpretation—discussing the findings and conclusions of pertinent literature.
Literature reviews should comprise the following elements:
• An overview of the subject, issue, or theory under consideration, along with the objectives of the
literature review.
• Division of works under review into categories (e.g. those in support of a particular position, those
against, and those offering alternative theses entirely).
• Explanation of how each work is similar to and how it varies from the ot ...

Project Outline and Literature Review
Overview
Entering an academic conversation involves many steps. Two of the most fundamental of these steps involve reading material in the field and forming a perspective on what you have read. Academics demonstrate their perspective on the material in the field by composing a literature review.
The purpose of this assignment is to assist you in gathering pertinent research for your final project. Begin by developing an outline that presents categories such as the background, theory, and challenges of the cultural conflict that you identified for your research topic. Then complete a literature review for each category. In brief, a literature review covers multiple areas on the topic including:
Key concepts.
Existing theories.
What is known.
What is not well understood.
Why it is important to study this topic.
What research methods seem most appropriate.
A literature review traces the genealogy of a topic in the field; it notes the history of the topic and the notable perspectives of others in the field who have addressed the topic. The purpose of a literature review is to demonstrate that a writer has insightfully and critically surveyed relevant literature in order to convince a targeted audience that this topic is worth addressing. The literature review is not intended to report the literature, but instead to synthesize it.
By successfully completing this assignment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assignment criteria:
Competency 2: Analyze individual cultural competencies.
Competency 3: Analyze culturally and developmentally appropriate intervention strategies.
Analyze findings on intervention strategies published by cultural and ethnic researchers.
Competency 4: Apply theories, methods, and research in cross-cultural awareness.
Interpret scholarly resources for cultural theories and practices relevant to the proposed topic.
Examine the research on challenges facing a population.
Competency 5: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for members of the human services profession.
Communicate in a professional manner using scholarly resources that support the analysis through clear, concise, well organized, and grammatically correct writing that incorporates appropriate APA style and conventions.
Assignment Instructions
Complete a 3–5 page literature review that cites 8–10 recently published (within the last five years), peer-reviewed resources that inform your research topic. It will be helpful to consider making an outline for your final paper. The literature review should minimally include:
Restatement of the cultural conflict identified in your Unit 2 assignment.
Discussion of the population or populations.
Theories and research that explore the problem.
Challenges facing the population or populations.
Identification and analysis of personal competencies.
While you may find additional resources to use in .

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2. Definition
• A research report is:
a written document or oral presentation based on a written document that communicates the
purpose, scope, objective(s), hypotheses, methodology, findings, limitations and finally,
recommendations of a research project to others.
The basic orientation of a research report depends on its audience. Before writing the
report
the researcher must know his or her audience;
he/she may have to make assumptions about the composition, background and
interests of the readers.
11/18/2014 Report Writing II 2
3. Guidelines for Effective Writing
Know Your Audience.
If you assume your readers know more than they actually do, they’ll be
confused.
If you underestimate your readers, they’ll be bored with unnecessary details.
Err on the side of underestimating your readers.
Identify Your Purpose.
Research manuscripts use expository writing.
The principal purposes of a research manuscript are to describe and to
convince.
11/18/2014 Report Writing II 3
4. Guidelines (continued)
Be concise.
Say only what needs to be said.
Short words and short sentences are easier to understand.
Write several drafts of your manuscript; decrease wordiness as you edit your drafts.
Be precise.
Choose the right word for what you want to say.
Follow grammatical rules.
Failure to adhere to grammatical rules distracts the reader and introduces unnecessary
ambiguity.
Grammatical errors decrease the credibility of your persuasive argument.
11/18/2014 Report Writing II 4
5. Guidelines (continued)
Write fairly.
Choose words and sentence constructions that avoid bias on the
basis of gender, sexual orientation, racial or ethnic group, disability,
or age.
Describe persons at the appropriate level of specificity (e.g.,
describe men and women participants rather than the generic term
man when referring to human beings).
Be sensitive to labels used to describe racial and ethnic groups.

6. Guidelines (continued)
Write an interesting report.
Present ideas and findings directly, but in an interesting and compelling
manner that reflects your involvement with the research problem.
Strive to tell a good story about your research.
Do not tell your readers about yourself.
11/18/2014 Report Writing II 6
7. Structure of a Research Report
• A research report consists of the following sections (the main body of the
report is in bold):
– Title Page ■ References
– Abstract ■ Appendixes
– Introduction
– Literature Review
– Method
– Results
– Discussion
– Conclusion
11/18/2014 Report Writing II 7
8. Structure of a Research Report (continued)
• Title page
The title page contains the title of the research, the authors’ names, where the
research was done (i.e., the authors’ affiliation), a brief heading to describe the
subject of the research (the “running head”), and a short title (the first 3 words
of the title) with the page number.
The title should be a concise statement of the main topic of the research and
should identify the variables or theoretical issues in the research.
11/18/2014 Report Writing II 8
9. Structure of a Research Report (continued)
Abstract
The abstract is a one-paragraph summary of the content and purpose of the research
report.
The abstract should be 100-200 words.
Four main elements should be included:
The problem under investigation,
Highlights of the experimental method,
The main findings, and
The conclusions and implications of the findings.
Write the Abstract last!

• Acknowledgments
A description of contributions of people who helped you to successfully finish
your research
Acknowledge people who contributed to the research project by mention their
contributions.
Do not all include people who did not essentially contribute to your research.
It should not be a list of relatives, family members or friends.

11. Structure of a Research Report (continued)
Introduction
The three primary objectives of the introduction are:
to introduce the problem being studied and to indicate why the problem is
important;
to describe the theoretical implications of the study and to summarize
briefly the relevant background literature related to the study (including
appropriate citations);
to describe the purpose, rationale, and design of the present study with a
logical development of the predictions or hypotheses guiding the study.
11/18/2014 Report Writing II 11
12. Structure of a Research Report (continued)
Introduction, continued
You should be able to answer the following questions before beginning to write the
introduction:
Why is this problem important?
How do the hypothesis and the experimental design relate to the problem?
What are the theoretical implications of the study, and how does the study
relate to previous work in the area?
What are the theoretical propositions tested, and how were they derived?
11/18/2014 Report Writing II 12
13. Structure of a Research Report (continued)
Hypothesis . In a new social context, girls will be more sociable than boys—getting more involved
with others (interactional commitments) and forming more emotionally close relationships
(affective commitments)—across activity domains.
Hypothesis . Given that commitments to new relationships positively determine identity
prominence, and identity prominence positively determines behaviors, if girls are more sociable
with newer persons, their identities and behaviors will change more across activity domains.
Hypothesis . However, girls and boys will experience the same identity processes, meaning that girls
and boys with the same sociability in new relationships will have equal identity and behavior
changes.
11/18/2014 Report Writing II 13
14. Structure of a Research Report (continued)
Review of Literature
The literature review tells the reader what other researchers have discovered about the paper’s
topic or tells the reader about other research that is relevant to the topic.
A literature review should shape the way readers think about a topic.
it educates readers about what the community of scholars says about a topic and its surrounding
issues.
Along the way it states facts and ideas about the physical social worlds and supports those facts
and ideas with evidence for from where they came .
11/18/2014 Report Writing II 14
15. Structure of a Research Report (continued)
Literature reviews have parenthetical citations running throughout. These are
part of a systematic way to document where facts and ideas came from, allowing
the skeptical reader to look up anything that is questionable.
Parenthetical citation is our way of substantiating the claims in our paper,
without breaking our flow.
Each citation directs the reader to the references where complete details on
sources can be found. Therefore, information such as authors’ first names or
titles of works do not need to be written into the text.
11/18/2014 Report Writing II 15
16. Structure of a Research Report (continued)
Method
The purpose of the Method section is to describe, in detail, how the study was
conducted. Based on the Method section, a reader should be able to replicate the
study.
The three most common subsections of the Method section are:
Research design ( survey or experiment etc.)
Participants,
Materials (or video tape recorders ),
Procedure.
11/18/2014 Report Writing II 16
17. Structure of a Research Report (continued)
Citations consist of authors’ last names and the year of publication. One finds
complete information on sources by looking up last names and dates in
alphabetized references—so there’s no need to put all that information in the
text.
We have conventions that allow the reader to figure out from where
information is coming . Here are some examples of the conventions for citing
in text of the literature review:
Just pointing out where info came from:
Example: … the gays are different (Lee 2004).
More than one article in the same year:
Example: …are different (Lee 2004a), but are more pickled (Lee 2004b)
11/18/2014 Report Writing II 17
18. Structure of a Research Report (continued)
We have conventions that allow the reader to figure out from where
information is coming . Here are some examples of the conventions for citing
in text of the literature review:
Using the author’s name in a sentence:
Example: Lee (2004) claims that girls will rule the world…
Quoting a person and using their name:
Example: Lee (2004: 341) says, “Girls are more likely to rule the
world…”
Review of Literature
If an idea is used, but cannot be substantiated by the community of
sociologists, the literature review clearly shows that the author is
speculating and details the logic of the speculation.

• Procedure:
This is the most critical component of the Method section.
Describe what happened from the beginning to the end of the
sessions in which you tested your participants.
Include enough detail so that a researcher could replicate the
essential aspects of your study.

Participants: When humans are the participants, report:
the procedures for recruiting and compensating them,
major demographic characteristics (e.g., gender, age, race/ethnicity), total
number of participants,
the number assigned to each condition of the experiment, and describe any
attrition.
Materials: Describe any materials that are critical to the design and implementation
of the study variables; be sure to cite other researchers appropriately.

Results
The results section contains the climax of the report — the actual
findings of the study.
Answer the questions raised in the introduction, but “stick to the facts”
— leave any interpretation of the findings for the Discussion section.

The structure of a typical paragraph in the Results section is as follows:
State the purpose of the analysis.
Identify the descriptive statistic to be used to summarize the results.
Present a summary of this descriptive statistic across conditions in the text
itself, in a table, or in a figure.

If a table or figure is used, point out the major findings on
which the reader should focus.
Present the reasons for, and the results of confidence
intervals, effect sizes, and inferential statistic
State the conclusion that follows from each test, but do not
discuss implications. These belong in the Discussion section.

24. Structure of a Research Report (continued)
Result :
The results section describes the outcome of the statistical analyses, assessing whether
your hypotheses were correct and why or why not.
The narrative and tables are complementary.
The narrative discusses ONLY VERY IMPORTANT Results and leaves details
for tables.
As different outcomes are described in the narrative, reference is made to
where the detailed information can be found in the tables.
The tables contain almost all statistical information so that the author does
not have to write a narrative for every detail in the analysis.

• Discussion
The Discussion section includes:
A clear and concise statement of the essential findings.

A description of how the results are similar to or different from previous
research.
Limitations or problems in the research.
Specific ideas for additional research based on the findings.
11/18/2014 Report Writing II 25
26. Conclusions and recommendation
• Conclusions: explain what the research findings mean in relation to the challenge.
• Conclusion answers the question, “why will your recommendation work?”
• Conclusions are clearly drawn from the presented research (“based on....”)
• Recommendations regarding actions that should be taken or
considered in light of the research results.
Recommendations: Start with a verb and suggest actions to address challenge.
