Webinar synopsis
| The Leadership and Leadership Development Special Interest Group (BAM) and the Entrepreneurship in Minority Groups Special Interest Group (ISBE) plan to organise a one-day event for doctoral students. The virtual event titled ‘Conducting a Systematic Literature Review and the need for Sampling Justification in Research’ is designed to support our community of doctoral students in spotlighting good practice in doctoral research. Indeed, much mystery surrounds the way in which doctoral students engage in literature reviews and sampling techniques. Our attempt is to consider each of these trends and their applicability by making implicit procedures more explicit. In this light, we are interested in two richly distinct but related interactive sessions: (a) Session one uncovers the concept of the systematic literature review, since most 'traditional narratives' are perceived to lack thoroughness as genuine pieces of investigatory evidence. In this session, we will examine the assumptions and the task of reviewing, which are built into the concept of the systematic review. b) Session two examines sampling in qualitative research with a focus on non-probability sampling. In this context, we will come to learn that sampling decisions need to be justified so that examiners can have an appropriate context for assessing samples. |
