employees in a company, the community in which a firm operates or the international arena. But to be a "complete" research project, our next step is to develop a theoretical
framework from which to research this particular thesis, along with a scientific research design. A theoretical framework, according to Sekaran, tells us
the theory, the purpose of the study and variables that need to be studied in an attempt to support (or refute) the thesis.
Lets take the example of Pors study between adoption of management tools and the success of leadership (2008). The authors thesis is an observation - that libraries take part
in a variety of measurement activities such as user studies, staff surveys and studies without really melting those studies into the organizations strategic process. In the beginning, Pors states that

study, and importance of the study, he points out, is to determine how much leadership and organizational culture influences active, and effective, use of measurement and feedback devices (Pors, 2008).
