DBA 8722 - Dissertation II: Literature Review

Students conduct a comprehensive literature review that combines scholarly and industry sources to support the study. Emphasis is placed on transparent search strategies, inclusion criteria, evidence evaluation, and synthesis methods that identify patterns and gaps. The outcome is a straightforward narrative that consolidates previous findings, clarifies what is known and unknown, and concludes with a conceptual or theoretical framework to direct the study. Students also develop a citation matrix or annotated map linking constructs to proposed variables or key phenomena. Credits: 3 (May be repeated for credit. A maximum of 1 repeat is allowed.)
