Development of diagnostic
tool / framework based
on findings
Explain each structure of the framework
It's domains, sub-dimensions
and how each is substantiated by evidence
Present the final framework diagram
/ table with clear explanation
Show how insights from Chapter 5
refine or validate the initial
conceptual framework
~12000-14000 words
Presentation of results
Key themes
Organised by four diagnostic
domains or research questions
For each theme:
Findings from both desk
research and interviews
Include cross-case comparisons
(e.g., differences between logistics vs automotive)
where applicable
Describe how data was analysed
(e.g., thematic analysis with hybrid
inductive/deductive coding scheme aligned
to the conceptual framework
~5000 words
Specific methods
and proceedures
Case selection
(which sectors / orgs
and why)
Sampling strategy
for interviews (purposive sampling of
experts / practitioners in each sector
Data sources
desk-research documents / policies
semi-structured interviews
Include in literature review
Any pilot studies?
Tools used
(interview protocols.
recording, transcriptions etc.
Ethics
informed consent
anonymity
data security
~5000 words
Research Philosophy and design
Pragmatism (with Critical
Realist underpinning)
Methodological Approach
Qualitative multi-case study
Exploratory design
Explanation of
multi-theory lens
Role of conceptual framework
in shaping data collection and
analysis plans

1 or 2 paragraphs in literature review
In-depth Review of Current Literature
Defining digital transformation:
definitions and context in logistics, transport, automotive and freight-forwarding
Sectoral challenges:
Key barriers/entries in these industries e.g. legacy systems, interoperability issues, cultural hurdles
Existing frameworks
:
Critical evaluation of current DT maturity/readiness models and why they fall short (technology-centric, fragmented, lack integration)
Theoretical Foundations:
Overview of the theories (systems, affordance and socio-cultural) underpinning conceptual framework and how they relate to DT domains
Identified Gaps
:
Summary of what's missing in existing research e.g., lack of comprehensive, validated, sector-specific DT readiness framework integrating technical, organisational and cultural dimensions (justifying the research)
