Today was a refresher day after a quick weekend of relaxing. I refreshed myself on Grounded theory, delving into how grounded theory can be used in Information systems research, and found two articles (shown below) illustrating this. The articles were very interesting and had a lot of key ideas of grounded theory specifically for IS, i will be further exploring the articles within the next few days.

Paper 1:

The applicability of grounded theory as research methodology in studies on the use of methodologies in IS practices, R Goode & C Villiers

Paper 2: 

Investigating the use of "Grounded Theory" in information systems research, R Matavire & I Brown

At 11am today we had a project lecture which outlined key points for how to get a high grade in the project by working towards a grade using the assessment criteria provided in the project handbook. This lecture was extremely useful as it showed the work that needs to be put in to get a high grade and how focused you have to be. It was definitely an eye opener and a real motivated session, making me want to strive for those higher grades.

The final part of today went towards planning for my meeting tomorrow with the company. The meeting will involve discussing the pathways that could be taken and deciding which is the most time effective and which will allow me to get the highest possible grade and will be the most beneficial for the company. To plan for the meetings, i've outlined my initial ideas on the pathways, detailing the work that would be need to be done, what resources i would need, what skills i would need, the research methods i could use and what would be the outcome. I feel extremely prepared for my meeting tomorrow and will let you all know how the meeting goes.

Thank you very much for reading!! Stayed tune for more. You Stay Classy Bournemouth.
