Many times, students have a challenging time writing using various sources. I have provided information to help you in understanding how to write the Literature Review. The review of the literature is used to examine relevant scholarly sources and connections between these sources with respect to analysis of factors such as the following: comparisons, contrasts, consistencies, inconsistencies, strengths, weaknesses, reliability, validity, significance, limitations, positions (and relation to the student’s perspective), theoretical approaches, and/or research methods.

Example of the Literature Review:

Translated into organizational terms, Simon (1976) refers to organization as the complex pattern of communication and relationships in a group of human beings (p. xvii). It is the view of Barnard (1968) that the most useful concept of cooperative systems is embodied in the definition of organization as a system of consciously coordinated activities or forces (p. 73). Follett (1977) adds, “the form of organization should be such as to allow or induce the continuous coordination of the experience of men” (p. 121). As a matter of fact, the administrative head is not the man in whom all control is centered, but the leader of many with specific control according to Follett (p. 123). The views of Simon (1976), Barnard (1968), Follett (1977) & Tilles (1972) strongly suggest that an organization be consistent: “Hence an important test of strategy is whether the chosen policies are consistent with the environment – whether they really make sense with respect to what is going on outside” (p. 154). Accordingly, Bonge and Colman (1972 enumerated that “the consideration of problems and the formulation of strategies to increase viability of an organization requires the consideration of many variables and the assessment of many alternatives... (p. 1). Finally, in the view of Polivka and Stryker (1983), their experience indicates program evaluation can play a consistently influential part in the development process if certain conditions are met (p. 259). This is with an understanding from Lau (1988) that even with a literature review, there is a lag between some of the theoretical developments and the practical implementation of a successful organizational strategy. In a practical sense as well, there is also a significant gap between the top managers’ strategic knowledge and their ability to use knowledge. In fact, the challenge to overcome are some of the particular perspectives that tend to behold their organizations without adequately addressing the need for applicability in their business environment.
