Possibly, you might point to: a gap in the literature, or an issue or question that needs more evidence or research In the example Seminar (last week) The body of literature that dealt with teaching of skill sets and/or mind sets relevant to the creative process was structured to show, at one extreme, those that say it can’t be done while at the other, those that have tried various ways to teach creativity in a business context. 2 4 Literature Review Look at the references of references!!!

Is it leading to where you will be able to discuss a solution in your next chapter? Is it bringing up a gap in literature? Is it justifying the value of your topic or ideas? Is there a hypothesis you can deduce from the literature? WEEK 06: LITERATURE REVIEW DUE.

It is a special form of information gathering where you present the known body of knowledge relevant to the issue(s) or problem(s) you are addressing
The literature review is NOT just a string of authors, names, pages and references. It is structured as if you are developing an argument explaining why you need to undertake your research. Possibly, you might point to: a gap in the literature, or an issue or question that needs more evidence or research.
From week 04 and 05 tutorials you learnt how to develop a literature review.
A strong suggestion is to follow the following format discussed in week 05:
- Introduction to Literature Review
Start with introduction which includes a list of the topic you will do a literature review on, what your hypotheses are from these topics that you are starting out with (what you think is true about the topics).
E.g. I believe outsourcing for IT services I still growing and providing better quality for companies.
1.1 Topic 1
Define your 1st key word or phrase. Provide strengths and weaknesses from literature about the topic. Provide at least 4 references. Analyse your hypothesis about this topic and discuss your conclusion.
1.2 Topic 2
Define your 2nd key word or phrase. Provide strengths and weaknesses from literature about the topic. Provide at least 4 references. Analyse your hypothesis about this topic and discuss your conclusion.
1.3 Topic 3

Add Topics as you see fit to build your literature review here ….
1.5 Conclusion:
