Dear Saeed Shah,

There is an old book published in 1987 by William E. Pinnery and Donald B. Williams, entitled "MANAGEMENT SCIENCE: An Introduction to Quantitative Analysis for Management".

In this book, the first chapter covers:

• What is Management Science?
• Historical Development
• Behavioural Vs Quantitative Decision Making
• The System Approach
• The Role of Models
• Model Development
• Optimisation
• Areas of Application for Management Sciences.

I think this book is very much useful to someone interested in Management Science and it gives some basic, but in-depth contents of Management Science.

You may avail the previous edition at:

https://www.amazon.ca/Management-Science-Introduction-Quantitative-Analysis/dp/0060452293

Hope this will help you. Good luck in your academic efforts.

Regards,

S. Senthilnathan

I also suggest that you carefully look at recent published reviews in the important outlets of your specific field. They can be a great bluebrint. Also look at the yearly special issue of the Journal of Management that regularly publishes reviews.

Please find and learn the book of Management and Organization Theory: A Jossey-Bass Reader, Jeffrey A. Miles, ISBN: 978-1-118-00895-9. Hoping you enjoy it in summer.

Here is a practical example of a very recently published article with a systematic literature review in general management and economics:

Go to the economic theories and studies first and next go to theories and concepts in sociology.

Sascha Kraus , I read your recommended article which I found very helpful. I want some clarification on the terms used in article. Firstly, article used term " Mature Field", what are the characteristics of the mature field ? Second term that I want some clarification on, is the "Depth and Breadth " of study.

Furthermore, I want to ask that How can I use systematic literature review for my PhD. thesis (article based) for gap finding process, since your article focused on the standalone systematic literature review article/paper?

Thanks

Hi Sascha,

I think "Chicago Style for Students and Researchers" provides good guidance. Pls DM me your email ID and I can send you a copy.

Very broad and many views are there with different perspectives in concept-wise, theory-wise and philosophical ways

Greetings, Saeed!

Depending on the maturity of the studies on the topic, you will need to use different approaches. Studies that present uniform questions and constructs may indicate the possibility of using a quantitative approach, including meta-analyzes. For topics that have not yet reached this degree of maturity, you will need to use qualitative approaches.

As you study marketing, before you start, take a look at:
