Systematic Review

DescriptionSystematic Review

– please follow the details as listed in the “Task List” (esp. the yellow highlighted area)

-Review and Refine the Research Question:

Review your resources on the following topics:

1) systematic review methodology, then

2) article synthesis in systematic review, then

3) thematic synthesis

-Assess the Quality of the Evidence

-Quality Assessment board to post your own quality assessment of your REA evidence and then be a second reviewer of the quality of the articles selected and assessed by one other student (see attached of other student’s work – file named: “Project 2_other student”).

-The client (the ABC University) will want evidence of the reliability and validity of your findings. Transparency and rigor are the hallmarks of any systematic review.

– Code Your Data (I will do the coding myself later, please do the write up for me)

Review the evidence compiled by your team as well as your notes on coding for:

– Qualitative research

– first cycle coding , and

– second cycle coding

Your notes on within-case and cross-case analysis and analytic memoing is important as well.

– review your doctoral resources on describing and analyzing studies for a systematic review

– Provide an integrated analysis of the individual REAs with respect to the current research

question, aggregate: weigh and synthesize the evidence and a writeup of the findings.

– Conceptual framework (see page 31 in the document named as “Project 2_Myown”)

– create a conceptual framework that clearly integrates the concepts and relationships

discovered during the organizational analysis and preparation of the consultant proposal from

Project 1 and the findings from the individual REAs from Project 2. (see Doc 1: Project 1_MyOwn and Doc 2: Project 2_ MyOwn”)

– Develop Practice Recommendations

Based on your conceptual framework and the other work you’ve completed thus far,

generate a set of at least three practical recommendations that includes the following:

– identification of the risks in implementation

– practical considerations regarding gaining acceptance for the recommendations

It will be helpful to review your readings on closing the research-practice gap, particularly refers to “Evidence-Based Management: The Possibilities of Interpretation.” (Follow the guidelines of Evidence-Based Management in consulting work to develop recommendations)
