The contributions of a structured literature review in management sciences[Les apports d’une revue de littérature structurée en sciences de gestion]

Every scientific issue requires a prerequisite that underlies and justifies its interest. Otherwise, the scientific work will be considered as impertinent, given the abundance of the answers has been given to the field of research. To cope with this constraint, a literature review must be undertaken in order to shed more light on the research state in order to uncover the famous missing piece of the puzzle to which the researcher wishes to provide a clear and precise answer. However, most of the literature reviews in management sciences are proceeding according to a '' classic '' approach. An approach that is usually tinged by the subjectivity of its author, starting from the stage of scientific resources' selection to the analysis stage and sometimes even during the reading of the selected papers. A structured literature review helps to overcome these shortcomings, which could skew the empirical and / or theoretical results that derive from classical approaches. Our work highlights the modus operandi of this new approach by providing concrete examples in order to put forward its contributions for Management sciences.
