The terms ‘conceptual framework’ and ‘theoretical framework’ are commonly used in referring to the overall structure that shapes a research project. However, there are subtle differences between the two. This article sets out to clarify these differences along with providing pointers on how to g...
Thus, in this paper, the researcher starts by developing his argument by examining the role of theory in research, and then draws a distinction between areas of research that typically follow deductive versus inductive approaches, with regard to both the review of literature and data collection. ...

Fig. 7: A nested theoretical structure showing the relationship of the metacity with the four global urban conditions and the five contributing frameworks (Left column). Full size image A shared tool for co-produced solutions There are practical benefits of the metacity framework for planning or ...
In the absence of a conceptual framework, accounting standards were often produced that had serious defects – that is: they were not consistent with each other particularly in the role of prudence versus accruals/matching they were also internally inconsistent and ofte...

Therefore, a generic theoretical framework was used to combine all the literature-identified factors of shopping mall attractiveness and TOD design using the generic extended service marketing mix [62] and the five dimensions (5 Ds, density, diversity, urban design, destination accessibility, and ...
All aspects of our society, including the life sciences, need a mechanism for people working within them to represent the concepts they employ to carry out their research. For the information systems being designed and developed to support researchers an
increasing global temperatures may serve differently as an impactful filter for biodiversity in Global North versus Global South cities. Therefore, this framework can be used to compare studies in different regions empirically throughout the world, particularly comparing Global North and Global South conte...
Finally, we discuss the overall contribution of the framework and present suggestions for its future development and application. 2. Theoretical background The development interventions in focus operate at the intersection of environment and development, within complex adaptive systems, and deal with ...
