Many students consider a literature review an easiest part of academic papers. Certainly, there is a seed of truth in this notion, but let us emphasize that literature reviews have its own peculiarities. To complicate matters, there are research fields that are heavily focused on practice as opposed to purely academic disciplines. Therefore, writing such papers as Marketing research papers or management literature reviews can prove to be quite a problem.
 
In this article, we are going to provide you with several approaches of how to deal with management literature reviews correctly: where you should start, how to proceed, and how to finish in order to prepare a perfect literature review in management.
 
Management Literature Review: How to Start
 
Let us put it plainly: if you start completely from scratch, i.e. you do not have even the slightest notion of what your topic is, you will not write a winning management literature review. Still, it is likely that your tutor presented a list of literature to be studied and used. So, you already have a sort of foundation. If he/she did not, your first step is definitely to ask him to provide you with all necessary sources.
 
Management Literature Review: How to Proceed
 
Explore the reference lists provided at the end of recent research papers. Search for abstracts of cited papers and write a short list of all publications that relate to your topic.
 
When reading the first several articles of this list, you might need to explore the references of these papers as well. But you will soon notice that some papers are cited again and again, so your task will be to outline the contents of these publications. At this point, you can make the first draft of your management literature review.

People were on the Moon. People are exploring the outer space. But people still have mysteries on their own planet. So many unexplored places and phenomena are still waiting for their discoverers. One of such unexplored places is the Himalayas, where mysterious Yetis live. Of course, people do not know where Yeti’s village is, and they are not friendly neighbors, but the fact that Yetis exist cannot be denied. Too many proofs are already found.
 
Unexplored Areas.
 
First of all, it is necessary to note that western people knew nothing about Yeti up to the 20th century, because those territories were closed for them. Western mountaineers, scientists and simply activists started researching the territories of the Himalayas relatively recently, from the early 20th century. Before that time the Himalayas especially their Nepalese and Tibetan part was absolutely unexplored. Moreover, it was almost uninhabited.
 
Different People Usually Do Not Tell the Same Story.
 
It is surprising, but Indian, Nepalese and Tibetan people describe the mysterious creature in the same way. Of course, they give different names to the mystical inhabitants of the mountains: Yeti, Metoh-Kangmi, Meh-The and many others. Too many legends and stories give the same precise description of the creature: huge, dark-haired, human-like, and bipedal.
 
It Cannot Be Seen, But It Can Be Heard.
 
Some people may argue that those are silly legends of rural people. But a lot of villages, western mountaineers and scientists heard the horrible sound, which was a roar of some unknown creature. It is so terrifying that some people do not risk not only to go and look what it is, but even do not risk to move. And in the Himalayas people have to hear such roars very often, as if it was a kind of recurrent call.
 
Too Many Witnesses Exist.
 
Apart from folklore, legends, and horrible sounds a lot of people report that they saw or even met Yeti. The local police officers often receive reports from people who saw Yeti, or witnessed how it attacked their livestock. A lot of people write books about their experiences in the Himalayas. For example, Reinhold Messner, in his book My Quest for the Yeti, wrote how he met Yeti; he also depicted some stories of local people who saw this creature.
 
Abundance of Tracks Found.
 
It is widely known that a lot of people find many huge tracks which cannot pertain to any of known animals. Such tracks were also photographed and thoroughly analyzed. Some people argue that a lot of photographs provided by explorers can also present tracks of different known animals (bears or even foxes) deformed by snow melting. Though, there are many transparent tracks, and the vast majority of scientists admit that these tracks can belong to creature like Yeti: large, human-like and bipedal.
 
No Animal Usually Remains Such Tracks.
 
Not only tracks Yeti leaves; people often discover other evidences of its existence. Yeti is unlikely to attack people, it often attacks animals. People often find animals’ remains: bodies torn in two parts, bones neatly put in some places. Too few animals in the Himalayas can be so strong, and there are no doubts that bears or other animals do not usually act so accurately.
 
Too Few Expeditions Were Held.
 
Some people argue that Yeti should have been found long time ago, since a lot of expeditions came to the Himalayas. But not so many were there. Actually, only few (not more than 10) competent expeditions went to the mountains to find Yeti, or at least some evidence of its existence. It is worth mentioning, that one of the members of such expedition, Desmond Doig, admitted that their expedition was too clumsy and slow, with all that equipment. They did not even film, photograph or at least meet any big animal, to say nothing of Yeti.
 
The Himalayas Are Too Hard to Explore.

• You can ask your best friend to write your GCSE coursework. However, the chances that he/she will agree to do that (even if you pay him/her) are rather slight.
