1. 0:00Welcome again your honors.
2. 0:03in today's episode we are going to discuss
3. 0:05two terms which are prevailing and relevant
4. 0:08prevailing as well as relevancy are very important
5. 0:11when talking about the different forms
6. 0:14of data and information
7. 0:15and in the last episode we discussed the definitions
8. 0:19of data and information as well as the idea
9. 0:22of secondary, primary
10. 0:23and we agreed that every secondary is information
11. 0:27and we can consider every primary is raw data
12. 0:29the primary raw data is collected after the research design
13. 0:33anything in the research design we consider it secondary
14. 0:36and information because it is processed by any source
15. 0:40whether it's scientific or not
16. 0:43here, we have two important sentences
17. 0:45we say that we want to make sure
18. 0:49that you have a clear problem definition
19. 0:50which is step one and literature review
20. 0:53in the problem definition you should have information,
21. 0:55which is secondary, on the organization
22. 0:57by organization we mean the nine elements
23. 1:00or this book's context that says contextual factors
24. 1:04contextual factors that are the nine elements
25. 1:07that you are going to use to explain your problem
26. 1:10the second step,
27. 1:12prevailing knowledge on the topic
28. 1:15that is, relevant findings from previous research
29. 1:17of course knowledge or information
30. 1:19which is the second or the third level of processing data
31. 1:22the processed data becomes information then knowledge
32. 1:27it is indicated here that previous research
33. 1:29but what is the previous research? it is literature
34. 1:32the literature here should be prevailing and relevant
35. 1:35it is important for us to understand
36. 1:38the meaning of both prevailing and relevant
37. 1:41the word prevailing is very important because
38. 1:44its is one of the literature review's qualities
39. 1:46and relevant also is one of the essential qualities
40. 1:49in literature review
41. 1:50so let's figure out the meaning of the term prevailing
42. 1:52what it is prevailing in Arabic?
43. 1:56in fact, the word prevailing is closer
44. 1:59to the translation of the word surrounding
45. 2:02you make a full surrounding to the information
46. 2:07and knowledge about the problem
47. 2:10why isn't it called predominant or widespread ?
48. 2:14because the opposite of widespread is non-widespread
49. 2:16the opposite of predominant is non-predominant
50. 2:19but we want you to get everything in literature review,
51. 2:21to surround I mean to turn around the topic
52. 2:25from all the angles and to fully cover it
53. 2:28so what is the topic? why is there problem definition?
54. 2:31now I am talking about this problem here
55. 2:33what is the problem? is it the context?
56. 2:36and what does this context include?
57. 2:37it includes the nine elements
58. 2:39I am talking about business problem
59. 2:40or whatever specialty, anatomy of business,
60. 2:44or anatomy of humans or plants or whatsoever
61. 2:49it depends on the domain you are studying or working in
62. 2:51here, I am going to apply on the business and say no
63. 2:54here I have nine elements indicating
64. 2:56that the problem has nine components
65. 2:58to make sure that we have done literature review
66. 3:01we should have the nine elements clearly stated
67. 3:06and then you have a clear problem definition
68. 3:09from nine elements or contextual factors
69. 3:13talking about the industry, the country, product, service,
70. 3:17customer with different segments
71. 3:21employees with different levels
72. 3:25talking about legal forms of the company,
73. 3:28the business functions, the management functions
74. 3:31and how they interact
75. 3:33and generate a problem or an opportunity
76. 3:35after talking about all these elements,
77. 3:38then what is prevailing?
78. 3:39it means to bring literature covering
79. 3:41all the problem aspects and therefore, it is not possible
80. 3:46to read the literature in and for only this aspect
81. 3:50you have to read almost all this
82. 3:52which means if you read literature like this, for example
83. 3:55you read it in only one aspect
84. 3:57but i want to read more of literature,
85. 3:58this way you started, for instance,
86. 4:00to read about the product and the customer
87. 4:01you started talking about the product and the employee
88. 4:04in this particular industry,
89. 4:05and so on as if we continue readings
90. 4:08about or from literature
91. 4:11surrounding the whole contextual factors
92. 4:17this way, we have prevailing literature
93. 4:19but there is something missing in literature
94. 4:21it is incomplete, very very limited
95. 4:26and this is a very unacceptable amount of literature
96. 4:30but here, we surrounded literature,
97. 4:33or surrounded the problem with all its angles
98. 4:36we made a circle, we fully surrounded the problem
99. 4:43we did a surrounding around the problem in every way
100. 4:46but if we think, if I covered the problem this way
101. 4:50what is better? is it the level within readings
102. 4:53which are the red arrows and circle?
103. 4:55or is it this level? the green one
104. 4:58the green one is better because here,
105. 5:00I increased the scope and my ability
106. 5:03of covering literature
107. 5:05pay attention to the meaning of scope here
108. 5:07it means that the problem is very focused
109. 5:12but the scope of the reading
110. 5:14did a surrounding, which is prevailing
111. 5:18a full surrounding to the problem
112. 5:19which surrounding is better? is it this one or this?
113. 5:21I even give sometimes the example of the fence
114. 5:24protecting, covering or surrounding the house
115. 5:27if the house dimensions are not well defined
116. 5:29it is difficult to build a fence around the house
117. 5:31because you do not know the house borders
118. 5:33I mean, you do not whether to go ahead or behind,
119. 5:36right or left and different sides.
120. 5:38but if our house dimensions are well-defined
121. 5:40which is this blue building
122. 5:42I will know how to surround it
123. 5:44but from where can I surround it?
124. 5:46I go for one meter, three or four?
125. 5:48no, you can take as mush distance as possible,
126. 5:52of course without infringing the limits of others
127. 5:55who are the others? my neighbor, in the house example
128. 5:58in our example here where we talk about the problem,
129. 6:02let's say that the problem is about productivity
130. 6:04I will be increasing and surrounding more and more
131. 6:08until I reach the part of touching or contact
132. 6:13with another problem
133. 6:15you will find then, that the literature is introducing you
134. 6:17to another phenomenon such as satisfaction,
135. 6:19loyalty, or whatsoever
136. 6:21therefore, we want you to enlarge the fence,
137. 6:24as much as you can, around your house to protect it
138. 6:27to enlarge your literature readings
139. 6:29to get a very focused problem given
140. 6:31that you do not cross the other's fence
141. 6:34and not cross other problems coverage
142. 6:39we want to be very focused on our topic,
143. 6:41so we stop at these limits here
144. 6:43if our topic is productivity, we should stop
145. 6:46as soon as we reach the topic of satisfaction
146. 6:49and so on, concerning other topics
147. 6:51I stop here
148. 6:53for me, it's clear that I should move and stop right here
149. 6:56let's suppose that the topic of productivity
150. 6:58is related to an other topic in the business,
151. 7:01for instance, the business performance
152. 7:07you will easily notice this intersection
153. 7:10exactly like when you noticed that you should stop here
154. 7:12and stop reading literature and cover
155. 7:14with only the green part, this circle here
156. 7:16here, you will notice that there is a link,
157. 7:18intersection and coalition,
158. 7:19between your topic for example, productivity
159. 7:22and another topic such as business performance
160. 7:25we want this intersected part, but we don't want you
161. 7:28to skip and go to other topics here
162. 7:30the same here, if I have another topic
163. 7:35unrelated to my topic which is productivity here
164. 7:38I will not care about loyalty or satisfaction
165. 7:41I should only cover this part,
166. 7:43this way, we have completed the meaning of prevailing
167. 7:46prevailing is connected to another term called relevant
168. 7:50what is relevant? it's what has a relation
169. 7:53I will give you an example and you have to tell me here,
170. 7:57in your opinion a scientific researcher,
171. 8:00where is relevant here?
172. 8:02where is the real number of literature
173. 8:05that is considered relevant in your opinion
174. 8:07in this trace we have here,
175. 8:10we are talking about relevancy
176. 8:13we have a researcher
177. 8:15and this researcher
178. 8:16I will make the trace clearer
179. 8:18this researcher
180. 8:21excuse me
181. 8:21this researcher is reading literature
182. 8:24about a topic called, for instance, satisfaction
183. 8:30here is it, the topic of satisfaction
184. 8:32so this researcher is reading about satisfaction
185. 8:36and trying to find relevant literature, alright
186. 8:39here, what is the relevant literature to satisfaction?
187. 8:43the researcher has read 20 papers, for example,
188. 8:47he read 20 papers about satisfaction
189. 8:50and that is the original phenomenon he is searching for
190. 8:52as if it is the core or the focus he's searching for
191. 8:55out of these 20 papers, he found 2 papers
192. 8:59about another phenomenon called productivity
193. 9:03and 18 papers about satisfaction
194. 9:07out of the 18 satisfaction papers,
195. 9:09he classified 12 to be used and 6 not to be used
196. 9:17we have a total of 20 papers about satisfaction
197. 9:20which is the phenomenon studied by the researcher
198. 9:22where 2 papers about the phenomenon of productivity
199. 9:25he decided to use 12 of them and not to use 6
200. 9:32so here, what is the number to call relevant
201. 9:35so it can be related to the other topic called prevailing?
202. 9:40how many papers are they?
203. 9:41are they 20, 18, 12 or the 12 and 6 which is 18 ?
204. 9:49what about the 12 and 2 which is 14
205. 9:51and 6 and 2 which is 8, not all the alternatives
206. 9:55in fact, we will definitely exclude two here
207. 9:58which are these 2 papers
208. 10:00because he is already reading here
209. 10:01as if this one is our house and this one's neighbors'
210. 10:03I have no relation with it at all
211. 10:04this satisfaction is the focus phenomenon
212. 10:07that I am reading about,
213. 10:08regardless of the associated variables
214. 10:11this is the phenomenon I am studying
215. 10:12that will turn into dependent variable
216. 10:16but this is another dependent variable
217. 10:18I am not studying or focusing on
218. 10:20but why did I read them? I made a mistake
219. 10:22or I liked them and therefore read them
220. 10:24and helped me in my work or other things
221. 10:26or for further investigation or another research
222. 10:29in literature, you will not write about these two
223. 10:32which are these 2 papers of productivity
224. 10:35but you will include these 18 papers
225. 10:36the real correct answer is
226. 10:38that the relevant papers here are 18
227. 10:41but I said 12 papers to be used and 6 not to be used
228. 10:44no, we want to know the 18 because this is prevailing
229. 10:48and that show us how relevant you are
230. 10:50because you decided to use these 12 and let the other 6
231. 10:55the 6 and the 12 are your decision
232. 10:59maybe somebody else will decide other numbers
233. 11:02and maybe you would decide to use 1 and let 17
234. 11:10should I mention the not to be used group?
235. 11:12you should mention it in the literature review
236. 11:14and review it and say why you left it
237. 11:17because using or not is the researcher's decision
238. 11:21and it must be scientifically evaluated by the supervisor
239. 11:23or supervisors, reviewer, examiners,
240. 11:26those who review all this
241. 11:28which means that the meaning specific to prevailing
242. 11:32which is covering everything about the context
243. 11:36and the meaning specific to relevant
244. 11:37which is to mention what you decided to use
245. 11:40and what you decide not to use and why
246. 11:42because this is one of the things
247. 11:43we are going to review with you
248. 11:45why did you use it and why you did not
249. 11:47I hope both the meanings are clear
250. 11:49there will be a practical applications
251. 11:51we are talking about the practice in literature
252. 11:54it is important to understand these two
253. 11:56and they are explained in the parts
254. 11:58related to the literature review
255. 12:00our upcoming episodes will talk in details
256. 12:04about how to conduct literature review
257. 12:07thank you so much your honors
