Literature

Supervisors' comments on my literature review for the last submission were that it was still a bit sparse. They suggested that I used references to methodological literature to help pad it out a bit; so I'll use such as Miles & Huberman and Gummersson and Yin.

However, I have been reading more on agency theory, pyschological contracts and clients, so may refer also to Eisenhardt, Conway & Briner as well as Rousseau and Miller.

Yeah. I know - that's just a list of stuff, but they are relevant in that they have theories that apply to what I'm doing.
