ABSTRACT

targets areas of improvement for this study’s conceptual framework. It will assess whether all of the hypotheses supporting the conceptual framework have been validated or not. In so doing, this will allow space to reflect upon the lessons learnt regarding this conceptual framework as a result of its application throughout the comparative case studies, which in turn will allow for the identification of analytical elements that either are of little added-value to the conceptual model or, to the contrary, were insufficiently taken into account (such as the concept of leadership or professional knowledge and confidence amongst allies).
