Qualitative Indicators

  • Is the framework's underlying theory properly justified and referenced?
  • How was the framework compiled and tested? (e. g. literature research, discussion, action research, benchmarking, field studies, survey research, interviews, delphi study, real-life projects)


Framework Description

  • Does the framework contain all required major componets?
  • Are the framework's components and their interrelations clearly and precisely described in a comprehensible/logical manner?
  • Is the framework too complex/abstract?


Practical Application

Cite institutions and their industry/function where the framework is/was in application. If the framework was applied in the past but is disused, also add the reason for rejection. Finally link to references.

Associated Frameworks
