Hello,
Theoretical analysis means an investigation of problems’ decision process methods & peculiarities of the problem description and initial data impact on the obtained results. Secondly, the conceptual analysis means uncovering the propositions on how to solve the problem, breaking the problem into discrete parts & seeing how these parts interact in the problem under research. While doing so, there’s a second step of this analysis is integrating separate parts to one. “How could it be done?” It is a very crucial part of the problem-solution process.
Lastly, a literature review is a means for determining who, when, why, & how solved similar problems & what methods & data were applied to the problem solution, and what the outcomes are been after problems were solved.

To explain in short and clear, a literature review is generally conducted to unveil approaches & activities which may be useful in examining the problem under study. The researcher recommends actions and strategies to be explored. He/She need to familiarize themselves with previous studies, thus to facilitate a discussion which may solve a problem.
