Small scale research, information gathering and data collection

In order to attain desired results, it is important to focus on gathering data that are relevant and helps to create proper findings. In order to develop qualitative elements, it can be said that relevant information will be collected towards digital technology implementation. There are different sources has been considered such as articles, journals, online books, etc. (Marriott, Williams and Dwivedi, 2017). Along with this, qualitative information also assists to determine graph, thematic analysis, etc.
