INTRODUCTION
I use literature review generically, with literature indicating existing published information. Prior to switching my career to university teaching, I worked for several decades in sales, marketing, and systems engineering support for information technology companies, including owning and managing a small IT sales and marketing business, and working for IBM, Xerox, Unisys, Docutel/Olivetti, and InterContinental Hotels Group, as well as teaching and research posts at universities. In every one of these organisations I had at various times, career-critical assignments that required locating, accessing, and reading sources of information, analysing and synthesising the information, summarising, drawing conclusions, and making plans and recommendations. This guide is intended to help you prepare for these kinds of tasks.
In any research and writing endeavour, a review of prior, relevant literature is an essential feature. An effective review creates a firm foundation for establishing available knowledge and advancing knowledge. In academia it facilitates theory development, closes areas where a large volume of research exists, and uncovers areas where research is needed. In business practice review of prior knowledge can indicate what has worked and failed in the past, and your analysis, synthesis, and conclusions can indicate what might work in the future. Detailed discussion of the definition of a literature review begins on p. 4 below.
The results of a literature review in business or academia should not be only a descriptive report, but an analysis of the issues or research topic you have chosen, bringing together the results of the analysis (synthesis), reflection on and discussion of the analysis and synthesis, and drawing and justifying your conclusions, and a plan for the future. See Appendix A for highly structured techniques for analysis.
