Create a literature review. Your review should be a
thorough overview of your method and the different ways in which this method
has been used in the past. The lit review should have an introduction
paragraph that outlines the method you are studying and an overview of the
areas you will touch in your lit review. You should end with a conclusion
that would normally include the gaps in the literature.
Your paper should be in APA V7. That means
Double Spaced with a 12 point Calibri font. You should have 10-15 pages
with about 30-50 references.
This course is focused on the methodology. What
problem / RQ would you want to ask about the methodology you believe you
will use for your thesis?
Problem: “The effectiveness of using Design Science to
determine if cybersecurity AI would cause mass layoffs is
unknown.”
RQ: “What factors would contribute to the successful implementation
of a DSR artifact in the field of Cybersecurity AI?”
