Abstract

The proliferation of knowledge in management sciences is accelerating rapidly. The condition of reliability and originality of research underlies all research activities. Therefore, literature review as a research method is more important than ever. However, searching the enormous and still growing number of published studies can be a difficult undertaking, especially for new concepts for which there is no well-established theory and related conceptualisation or operationalisation. Such newness in turn may limit the conduct of any literature review. The aim of the article is to identify, assess, and classify dilemmas that researchers may face during the planning stage of a systematic literature review.
