CFA eight phases [44] | Objective of phase as per CFA | Alignment with section in this paper | Objectives of part |
---|---|---|---|
Phase 1: Mapping data sources | Map spectrum of multidisciplinary literature | Part 1: Investigation and discovery of sources. Subsequent concept identification and categorisation (Process described in Section 3) | - Systematized literature review [45] - Conceptual literature review based on findings of systematized literature review - Include investigation of existing relevant frameworks, models and tools |
Phase 2: Reading and categorising of data | Read selected data and categorise by discipline and scale of importance. | ||
Phase 3: Identifying and naming concepts | Read and re-read data to discover concepts. Allow for concepts to emerge from literature | ||
Phase 4: Deconstructing and categorising concepts | Identify the main attributes, characteristics, assumptions and role of each concept. This is followed by categorising the concepts accordingly. | ||
Phase 5: Integrating concepts | Integrate and group together similar concepts to form one group of concepts | Part 2: Development of framework (Process described in Section 3) | - Integrating and synthesising findings into a framework [4] |
Phase 6: Synthesis and resynthesis | Synthesise concepts into a framework. This is an iterative process and includes repetitive synthesis and resynthesis. | ||
Phase 7: Framework evaluation | Establish whether the framework makes sense. | Part 3: Framework evolution (Process described in Section 4) The outcome of the framework evolution process is presented in Section 5 | Evaluation and modification of the framework in three stages: - Theoretical case study - Semi-structured interviews - Industry case study This is a continuous process of evolving the framework with the third evolved version framework which is presented in section 5 |
Phase 8: Rethinking framework | A multidisciplinary framework will always be dynamic and needs to be revised. |
