The title of the dissertation is as follows: “An investigation on whether Football teams can achieve a competitive advantage by adopting a lean philosophy as part of their existing structures” Basically, I am focusing on amateur football teams and the aim of the dissertation is an investigation to see whether or not the philosophies associated with lean could be used by managers and players in their team structures to enhance their chance of winning and creating a more prosperous environment for all concerned.

Furthermore, I am in the UK so please keep this in mind with regard to writing style. The Literature Review should read easy and have flow, linking one point to the next contain paragraphs and headings as required.
