Two Ways to Present RRL

Reaction Paper

Review of related literature provides an overview of previous

research on knowledge sharing and intranets. It introduces the
framework for the case study that comprises the main focus of the
research described in this thesis. The main purpose of the
literature review work was to survey previous studies on
knowledge sharing. This was in order to scope out the key data
collection requirements for the primary research to be conducted,
and it formed part of the emergent research design process. A
literature review is a summary of research that has been
published about a particular subject. It provides the reader with
an idea about the current situation in terms of what has been
done, and what we know. Sometimes it includes suggestions about
what needs to be done to increase the knowledge and understanding
of a particular problem.

There are two ways to present Review of Related Literature. 1.)

From the point of view of the researcher, it considers the
researchers' needs and perspectives, it is used if they want to
satisfy other researchers. It helps shape the research. 2.) From
the point of view of the reader, it provides the bigger picture.
It considers the readers needs, if the reader will find their
literature review relevant, appropriate, and or useful.

The articles used must be from professional journals, which means

we can trust that the authors are trained professionals, and
others have examined their work. Some studies are more easily
read and summarized than others. Be sure you feel comfortable
with your choices, since it is difficult to summarize ideas you
don't understand. Once you have found the articles, read them and
take notes. Write the literature review from your notes. If you
want to satisfy your reader, use from the point of view of the
reader but if you want your fellow researchers to satisfy, use
from the point of view of the researcher.
