You are free to consider any theory or concept used in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in strategy, but ensure that it is relevant to strategy and not another area of study. A critical review is a process of evaluatin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing the worth of a concept; lookin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing at an idea in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in number of ways, such as from multiple positions, in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in an approach to examin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ine its legitimacy. In this way, you are attemptin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing to explore the current state of understandin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing about a strategic model or concept. This is an academic piece of work – it should use academic references and should not be applied to your company in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in assignment 1. A ‘critical review’ looks at what academics judgements have been, synthesisin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing a range of in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">insights to attempt to come to a poin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">int of understandin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing. You are not required to make your own judgement, nor are you required to show your ‘voice’ in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in the assignment. You are the researcher pullin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing together different thoughts and strands espoused by a range of academics. Therefore it should be written in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in the third person. What you are required to do is evaluate the academic literature on this theory. A good critical review of this type deals with the world of ideas and questions and asks ‘why should we accept this model or theory?’ A poor critical review is descriptive and has limited reference to judgements made by others about an idea or concept and will tend to use real life examples. A critical review should have an appropriate in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">introduction, a coherent narrative, a conclusion and supportin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing references.
