DDBA 8300 Week 3 Assignment Conducting a Literature Review on a Theoretical Conceptual Framework

To prepare for this Assignment, review this week’s Learning Resources, and conduct a literature search in the Walden Library for articles where the author(s) grounded their study within the “same” theoretical/conceptual framework you propose for your Doctoral Study. Focus only on full-text, scholarly or peer-reviewed articles or doctoral studies/dissertations so that you have six (three quantitative and three qualitative) viable scholarly sources. Be sure to review Section 1.14 of the Doctoral Study Rubric and Research Handbook, provided in this week’s Required Readings, for further details of literature reviews and their requirements.

Submit a 4- to 5-page literature review in which you critically analyze and synthesize these six articles (three quantitative, three qualitative) related to your theoretical/conceptual framework. For each article, complete the following:

· Critical Analysis

o Identify the theoretical/conceptual framework of the study.

o Describe the major finding(s).

o Describe the strengths and weaknesses of the study.

· Synthesis

o Describe the placement of the research within theoretical/conceptual framework.

o Explain the relationship of study to existing literature.
