Activity Description: Depending on whether you are seeking a DBA or a PhD, it is of paramount importance that you identify an overall organizing structure in the literature using either a conceptual framework (DBA students) or theoretical framework (PhD students). As previously mentioned, it is important to be able to relate the issues discussed within the review to theory or other frameworks that already exist in the field. This will allow you to show how your study will contribute to practice and/or theory. For this assignment you will identify how your literature review fits within a conceptual framework(s) within your specification. As you have been collecting and reading your scholarly source thus far, you should have been nothing the conceptual or theoretical frameworks used by the authors.This was part of digesting the information within a scholarly source . In addition, you have been working to form themes in developing your outlines in Week 4 and and noting that frameworks were used within each theme/(sub) topic. In week 5 and 6, you summarized, critically analyzed and synthesized the literature you collected thus far. All the while, you also continued to collect additional scholarly sources, write, receive feedback on your writing, incorporate that feedback, and continue on. In other words, you have been partaking in the iterative process of writing a literature review. This assignment is geared toward further having your literature review by helping you determine the comceptual or theoretical framework that you will use to couch your paper. . Look back at the scholarly resources you have read thus far, Describe the conceptual and/or theortical framework used by the authors. 2) Compare and contrast how your topic relates to each of those frameworks used. 3) Based on your analysis, which frame work best applies to your topic. Note that you may find that none of the frameworks seem to really fit your topic. This is a normal part of the writing process. If you find this is the caase, please explain how the frameworks in your sources do not fit your topic. This should help illuminate where you should search in the literature to find a framework that applies to your study, which you can then discuss here. 4) Justify why this conceptual/theoretical framework applies to your topic area and literature search. Also ensure your chosen framework reflects your degree type. 5) Discuss how the framework interwaeves into your literature review.
