What Is Literature Survey In A Project Work?
16 Answers
Liam Sheasby answered
A literature survey, or literature review, is a proof essay of sorts. It is a study and review of relevant
literature materials in relation to a topic you have been given.
If you are studying business then it would involve business books written by reputable and
experienced business people. You would then, having read them, summarize what you've read and
then go on to explain the relevance of this to your topic. The literary review is produced from
secondary sources, so is merely a thesis and your take on certain facts and trends.
What are the key aims of the survey?
The purpose of such a survey is for you to demonstrate to your employer or tutor that you are
knowledgeable in the area of expertise that they require. You are proving to them that you are well
read and aware of the relevant theories and practices in your field.
Furthermore, you are expected to be analytical of what these experts or writers say and then give a
critique; do you agree with what they postulate or state and if so why, with the support of other figures
or facts. If you don't then again why not.

How do I submit this survey?
Generally, such a survey is presented using a slide show of prompt points and any visuals -
charts/graphs - you may want to display to your audience. It's usually a 20 minute presentation where
you need to effectively and coherently demonstrate your understanding of the topic and make sure the
audience can tell you have researched effectively.
What is project work?
Project work is any sort of assigned work. It can be a school project or an employment project. It is a
task set to educate you on a subject, but also give you the experience of undertaking research work
and handling responsibility.

Literature survey is the documentation of a comprehensive review of the published and unpublished
work from secondary sources data in the areas of specific interest to the researcher. The library is a
rich storage base for secondary data and researchers used to spend several weeks and sometimes
months going through books, journals, newspapers, magazines, conference proceedings, doctoral
dissertations, master's theses, government publications and financial reports to find information on
their research topic. With computerized databases now readily available and accessible the literature
search is much speedier and easier and can be done without entering the portals of a library building.
The researcher could start the literature survey even as the information from the unstructured and
structured interviews is being gathered. Reviewing the literature on the topic area at this time helps
the researcher to focus further interviews more meaningfully on certain aspects found to be important
is the published studies even if these had not surfaced during the earlier questioning. So the literature
survey is important for gathering the secondary data for the research which might be proved very
helpful in the research. The literature survey can be conducted for several reasons. The literature
review can be in any area of the business.

Based on the specific issues of concern to the manager and the factors identified during the interview
process, a literature review needs to be done on these variables. The first step in this process involves
identifying the various published and unpublished materials that are available on the topics of interest
and gaining access to these. The second step in gathering the relevant information either by going
through the necessary materials in a library or by getting access to online sources. The third step is
writing up the literature review. A modern technology locating sources where the topics of interest

have been published has become easy. Almost every library today has computer online systems to
locate and print out the published information on various topics.
Global business information published articles in newspapers and periodicals and conference
proceedings, among other sources are all now available on databases. Computerized databases include
bibliographies, abstracts and full texts of articles on various business topic. Statistical and financial
databases are also easily accessible. Computer hardware and software enable the storage, updating
and display of information on global activities. Economic indicators and other data for various
countries can be tracked easily. Statistical abstracts and the like now available on CD-ROM and on
the internet, bring to the researcher all the information needed for research at the press of the
appropriate computer keys.

The purpose of literature review is to ensure that no important variable that has in the past been found
repeatedly to have had an impact on the problem is ignored. It is possible that some of the critical
variables are never brought out in the interviews, because the employees cannot articulate them or are
unaware of their impact or because the variables seem so obvious to interviews that they are not
specifically stated. If there are variables that are not identified during the interviews, but influence the
problem critically then research done without considering them would be an exercise in futility.
In such a case the true reason for the problem would remain unidentified even at the end of the
research. To avoid such possibilities the researcher needs to delve into all the important research work
relating to the particular problem area. The following example will help to highlight the importance of
the literature survey. In establishing employee selection procedures a company might be doing the
right things such as administering the appropriate tests to assess the applicant's analytical skills,
judgement, leadership, motivation, oral and written communication skills and the like. Yet, it might be
consistently losing excellent MBAs hired as managers within a year although highly paid.

tool it is necessary to determine the time factor, economy n company strength. Once these things r

Before building the system the above consideration r taken into account for developing the proposed
