V. CONCLUSION
5.3 L IMITATIONS
With the constructivist postmodern philosophy of this underlying research, findings of this thesis oppose the established way of thinking in the academic but also professional world.
Reasons for that are my own interpretations into the qualitative data gathered. With an extensive methodology part, I intend to work against potential criticism and offer extensive insights into my research strategy and individual convictions. This is to provide the readers with the most information possible, so they can reach their own conclusions about the findings made and choose to agree or disagree with my result. Hence, one has to be mindful about the subjectivity of me as a researcher but also the interviewed participants and informants.
Furthermore, the empirical data this thesis is based on was collected through a single case study of observing a group in their VC process. The case was unique in its form as the group was part of a university course. This uniqueness has been beneficial to arrive at the findings I obtained, nonetheless it makes it difficult to form generalisations. Collected data may also have constraints in language and culture barriers.
Ultimately, the time constraint and limited scope of this thesis made extensive research difficult, as different interpretations of VC, VCap and the link to YN did not receive enough attention. Ideally, it could have benefitted this research to be more widespread and also include a quantitative part with the intention of testing different variables and hypotheses.
