Assessment 2: Literature Review

You must conduct a Systematic Literature Review on a self-selected topic related to negotiation skills in International Business. This self- selected topic must be approved by the tutor. 

You are expected to create tables to identify search locations, tables of inclusion and exclusion criteria, the create a table listing the academic journals that you found as a result of the criteria (approximately 5). The Systematic Literature Review will provide a critical discussion of 2 or 3 key themes identified within these papers. 

Search locations may include the University digital library, or Google Scholar, or Scopus as an example. You may use AI tools such as Litmaps to identify papers, but no AI tools can be used in the formulation of the anlaysis. 

Inclusion criteria is a set of advanced search options that limit the results, and include the keywords, the date ranges, the languages chosen, etc. 

Academic Journals should be from peer-reviewed publications, and should be published within the last 5 years. Critical discussion for level 5 should link together the various research, synthesising the information found, and evaluating the ideas that you found.
