Hi All,
I´ll try my guts to tell you about my research area. I´m just in the very
beginning with my PhD-studies and my subject is connected with
implementing an information system. I try to find out what is the process
that brings our information system into use when we have several
stakeholders and participants involved. At least now I think so.
My research method is qualitative and I try to use action research because
there will be so much active doing and reacting, in addition to learning
in several levels. I am very much involved in the implementation project.
As my research area is information systems, I often feel outsider in this
list, but still would like to hang on.
With regards,
Raija
