The literature review

The literature review is an integral part of the research process and makes a valuable contribution to almost every operational step.

• 
  In the initial stages of research it helps us to establish the theoretical roots of our study, clarify the ideas and develop the research methodology.
  
• 
  In the process, it serves to enhance and consolidate our own knowledge base and helps us to integrate our findings with the existing body of knowledge.
