Methodology and analysis of the reviewed literature

Abstract

A comprehensive review on STP was conducted incorporating papers published over a 26–year period in multiple management disciplines. The analysis is inspired by the general methodology of systematic reviews (cf. Denyer and Neely 2004; Kilubi, 2015; Meier, 2011; Mulrow et al. 2001; Walker, 2010). In contrast to the conventional literature reviews, a systematic review research method, as adopted in the present paper, removes the subjectivity of collecting data by employing a predefined selection algorithm (Crossan and Aypadin, 2010).
