Lebo should NOT "Search exclusively within business databases for the most relevant economic information."

This approach would limit her research to a narrow perspective, missing out on valuable insights from environmental and social science databases, as well as other relevant fields that could provide a more comprehensive understanding of sustainability practices in small businesses. A multifaceted approach is essential for thorough research.
