A critical skill at the doctoral level is the ability to conduct scholarly research guided by clearly
articulated research questions that address a specific issue or problem. For this literature review,
your research will be guided by the following three Research Questions:
1. How do individual and group decision processes aid or impede business decision making?
2. What are the newest directions and developments in the process of strategy development and
execution?
3. How can my academic discipline (DBA Program Cognate), as a function within the
organization, impact the process of business strategy development and execution?
The first two questions are explored from a broad business perspective, while the third question
gives you the opportunity to change your frame of reference to your specific cognate in the DBA
Program.
The purpose of this research project is for you to create a scholarly piece of doctoral level research
and writing which conforms to current APA format.
What are we looking for in this literature review?
A literature review discusses published information in a particular subject area and sometimes
information in a particular subject area within a certain time period. This literature review will be
more than just a simple summary of information from various sources as it will include an
organizational pattern that combines both a summary and synthesis of information. Please keep in
mind that a summary is a re‐encapsulation of the important information found in the source, while
a synthesis is a re‐organization and combining of that information to present a more complete
picture. Finally, the literature review will evaluate the sources and advise the reader of the most
pertinent or relevant points.
