Week 7

BUS-7100 v1: Scholarly Literature Review (6760019724)

Creating a Draft Literature Review

This week, you will begin to merge all your knowledge and research into a draft for the

preparation of the signature assignment. Review all of your research and writing to begin

developing this paper. You will demonstrate your understanding of all the previous week’s

work.

Week 1: You reviewed the essence of a literature review and gained an

understanding of the reason for it and what the literature review is used for in

academia. You also learned how to find literature.

Week 2: You developed skills to critically read articles and determined if the article

is a match for a topic you are researching. You also learned how to take notes and

developed a procedure to follow for your review of articles.

Week 3: You learned about software to create a library of your own references. You

researched different programs and determined which may be best for your

research tracking.

Week 4: You learned how to develop an annotated bibliography and include the

main points of an author’s message and critique the article.

Week 5: You learned the differences between primary sources vs. secondary

sources. You also learned about peer-reviewed articles and journals.

Week 6: You learned about theories and conceptual framework. You also learned

how to begin understanding the software program SPSS for your next class.

Remember, this is a draft and it can be rather intimidating to create a literature review.

Also, when you get to the stage of your dissertation, every document is a draft until the

committee approves it. Then, you will have a final chapter to post.

Be sure to review this week's resources carefully. You are expected to apply the

information from these resources when you prepare your assignments.

Week 7 - Assignment: Choose a Research Topic Assignment

Overdue - June 19 at 11:59 PM

As part of this week’s assignment, you will need to complete a Check Your Understanding.

Review the materials carefully and submit the required assignment before 11:59 pm

Arizona time on Sunday.

This week, you will focus on a topic of your choice and include a problem statement,

theory or conceptual framework, and the annotated bibliography from your previous

work. This is a draft to get feedback from your professor to complete the Signature

Assignment.

The problem statement is between 250-300 words. It describes the gap in the literature

or the problem found in the research. It is something that has not been solved. A problem

statement is used to describe what the researcher intends to solve. This also includes

what is known about the problem or what should be known about the problem. Identify

who is impacted if the problem is not solved. Refer back to week 5, if needed to parallel

the outline of the problem statement. Include at least one citation from your literature

that supports the evidence of a problem.

The purpose statement is written to align with the problem statement. Also, in this

section, you will identify the type of study such as qualitative or quantitative

methodology. (Since you have not yet studied the methodology, it is in another research

block course, you may use your best idea here.) Include a sentence of who the population

and number of participants may be for this study. Finally, in one or two paragraphs,

describe how you will maintain the confidentiality of the participants.

Assignment Instructions:

1. Write a problem statement with no more than 250 words.

2. Write a purpose statement using the directions below.

3. Include two or three paragraphs about a theory or conceptual framework.

4. Add you annotated bibliography from previous work.

Begin with a succinct purpose statement that identifies the study method, design, and

overarching goal: “The purpose of this [identify research methodology] [identify research

design] study is to [identify the goal of the dissertation that directly reflects and

encompasses the research questions that will follow].”

Indicate how the study is a logical, explicit research response to the stated problem

and the research questions that will follow.

Continue with a brief and clear step-by-step overview of how the study will be

(proposal) or was (manuscript) conducted.

Identify the variables/constructs, materials/instrumentation, and analysis.

Identify the target population and sample size that will be needed (proposal) or was
