How Do I Prepare a Literature Review Comparing HR Practices in Manufacturing vs. Service Sectors?

Could you please teach me how to prepare a literature review on the comparative study of HR practices in the manufacturing and service sectors? We aim to analyze five companies in the manufacturing sector and five in the service sector, comparing them. Can you advise on how to create a literature review and what information we should include in it?

Thank you.

Developing Your Research Problem

Brainstorm your research problem, and write the sub-problems and research questions that will help you solve them. Locate the related sources and start searching in some online databases and library catalogs. This is your initiative towards literature.

Comparative Study Approach

Take two of the studies from the mentioned sectors and compare the relevant information. Create a list of the desired subjects and keep updating them. Develop and maintain the data collected. For recording your findings, use note cards. Make copies of the resource pages when they contain a lot of relevant information that will help you address your research problem.

HR Practices Comparative Study

You can work on a comparative study of HR Practices which includes:
- HR policy and procedures
- From Recruitment to Exit Interview
- Performance Appraisal System
- Clear lines of Communication

There are many more findings that delve deeper with subterranean erudition.

Good Luck...!!

Sharmila has given you good tips. Hence, I will ask some questions. What do you do, and why are you taking up the study? If you are a student, what course are you on, and in which mode are you studying? Have you studied Research Methodology? If not, please access the PowerPoint slides attached at CiteHr.
