o Briefly summarise the articles. Focus on describing the key concepts and main points from each article (e.g., the theoretical concepts).
o Use in-text citations throughout your report to identify the articles. Refer to Research and References. • Article analysis – Analyse each article
o Identify and discuss the key strengths and weaknesses of the articles. o For example, based on what the authors have written in the article, does the theory appear to be sound and is there prior research supporting it? Do the hypotheses or research questions make sense based on the theory? Do the authors overgeneralise their findings or base their conclusions on faulty assumptions? Was the research worthwhile (e.g., worth the time, money, effort)? Do the research findings matter, and can the research be applied in real work settings? What further research questions does the research trigger? Etc.
o Note, you need to actually explain your reasoning for why you think something is a strength or weakness. • Article comparison – Analyse the similarities and differences across the articles o Identify and discuss the key similarities among the articles.
o Identify and discuss the key differences among the articles. • Discussion
o Based on the above analysis, what can you conclude about the topic? Don’t just re-state the authors’ conclusions from each article; draw your own conclusions based on all the articles.
o Based on the above analysis, what specific recommendations can you make for managers or organisations? Aim for 2 to 4 clear and concise recommendations.
? Don’t just re-state the authors’ recommendations from each article; develop your own recommendations based on all the articles.
? If it isn’t possible to make any recommendations (e.g., all the articles were severely flawed), explain your reasoning.
