Answer
It will help you to gain a deep understanding of the issue so that you
can address it properly.
It can help you to formulate/reformulate your topic (or, to put it
another way, it can help you decide whether to broaden or narrow
your topic).
Background sources might include references that you can use to
find additional sources for your project.
citation importan to protect the rights of the writer who ownes the

Answer
Narrowing down the problem from its original base and state well
the research question will definitely conclude in a good problem
statement which will support the researcher to solve the specific
problem encountered in the work setting in case of applied
research
Problem Definition:
the irrelevant accounting system has bad effect on the investors,
it keeps the investors in the dark side as it does not provide the
investors with the useful information about important assets
,intellectual capital and knowledge work.
As per the definition of Literature Survey and Literature critical
review in (Uma Sakaran and Roger Bougie Book). Literature
Review is to check the published and unpublished work from
secondary data source which are related to the research problem
and to ensure that none of the important variables are left out of
the study .it is possible that some of the critical variables are never
highlighted in the interview or by the researcher. literature review
provides researchers with a frame work which include the
identification and definition of all relevant variables related to the
study and to provide relationships between them in a conceptual
model. A good literature provides the foundation for developing a
comprehensive theoretical framework from which hypotheses can
be developed for testing. so it is an important although it is time
consuming excercise, it is a mandatory as it is one of the major steps
of the research process which gives rigor to the research ,while
gathering a primary first hand data such as surveys,interviews and
focus groups also are beneficial but not sufficient to develop a
theoretical frame work and could not lead to the problem research
solution.
Yes, I agree with the statement as for the basic research definition is
understanding a certain phenomenon resulting from many applied
researches in order to create a generic theory which could be
applied in different organizations , so checking different models
with different applied research is more complex than applied one
which apply a certain model in a certain organization to solve a
specific problem
In applied research ,the researcher needs to explain the
relationships between variables in his conceptual Model and
integrating his model with theories which are drawn from previous
research about his problem. According to the applied research, the
researcher could not add or remove any independent variable that
is already exists in the theory and proved but he could add any
mediating or moderating variable.The effect of the moderating and
mediating variables on the relation between dependent and the
independent variables should be explained and proved by the
researcher.
Brand
Awareness
Building Revenue
Maintenance
Service Quality
Fully Franchise
Owner's
Cooperation
Hypotheses:
Increase Brand Awareness with different types of facilities will
increase the Revenue
Enhancing the Building maintenance will increase revenue
Enhancing quality of service will increase revenue
Without the cooperation of franchise owner on
the new startegy ,the revenue could not be increased
