Abstract

The Delphi method has been used as a way to reach consensus among experts established in the 1950s. The method was originally conceived to be used as a forecasting instrument for business in a mixed-method study. The Delphi method is usually conducted with elements of anonymity, iteration, controlled feedback and statistical group response. Delphi method had traditionally used expert opinions through methods such as interviews and brainstorming for the initial point of studies conducted. However, with the expanding volumes of research papers and articles in this age, can techniques such as Traditional Literature Review (TLR) and Systematic Literature Review (SLR) also be viable technique to be an initial point of studies for a Delphi study. As such this study aims 1) to examine and discover whether TLR and SLR are appropriate techniques to be used in a Delphi study and 2) construct a Delphi study process overview. This study adopts a methodology in which seven articles that have used TLR and SLR in their Delphi study will be analyzed. The results shows that TLR and SLR are appropriate techniques to be used in a Delphi study and that there are two types of processes to incorporate them into the study. We have also constructed a Delphi process overview through our analysis. We hope that the results of this study will be able help researchers who are interested in doing a Delphi study to know on what are the benefits of TLR and SLR in these studies along with how to incorporate them.
