Students could narrow down the scope of the literature review on to specific aspects of leadership
such as types, styles, etc and its inter-relationships with specific facets of organisational performance
such as financial performance, innovation performance, sustainability and responsibility, and so on.
Another way to narrow down the scope of the review is to focus on a particular industry and evaluate
the relationship between leadership and organisational performance in that industry.
The literature review must critically evaluate and synthesise the current state of knowledge on
the given topic. Therefore, it is recommended that only articles published in the last 5 to 7 years
be reviewed for this assessment as it will provide an overview of the contemporary debates on
the topic. It is also recommended to use articles published in the top-ranked academic and
practitioner journals given in Table 1
