Beach Club, I was able to interview only five chipped people; three of the respondents were<br />
working for the Baja, the other two were VIP members. I tried to interview more people,<br />
but the Baja Beach Club was reluctant to ask her members for my research. They didn’t find<br />
any respondent who were willing to cooperate with my research. I went a few times to the<br />
Baja Beach Club itself to find chipped members, but every time I was there, there was only<br />
one chipped member present. Moreover they were about to stop the whole chip implant<br />
VIP‐membership program.<br />
For all my case studies I went to interview the end‐users at the location of concern.<br />
I conducted the interviews in an informal way. The idea was to conduct a semi‐structured,<br />
open‐ended interview. I had a list of questions as a guideline. The respondents on the<br />
suppliers and client level were able to tell a lot around the questions, I hardly needed my<br />
interview guideline. However upon interviewing the end‐users, they were restricted in<br />
their answers. This could be due to several reasons:<br />
• Most of the respondents were young people.<br />
• Most of the respondents wanted to swim or dance and not ‘waste’ a lot of time in an<br />
interview.<br />
• Most of the respondents didn’t have many opinions about the entrance system, so<br />
discussion around the topic was out of question.<br />
During the interviews I made rough notes of the respondents’ replies, answers, remarks,<br />
comments, explanations and observations. I used these notes to transcribe the most<br />
meaningful important and outstanding [according to my own interpretation] responses.<br />
4.6 Limitations<br />
The problem with case studies is that it is probable that one cannot generalise it to complete<br />
populations. It is solely representative for the three case studies itself. However certain<br />
patterns can be read from the respondentsʹ answers, which one could also imagine to be<br />
applied on similar settings. Moreover the researcherʹs interpretation could also play a role<br />
in objectivity. The researcher could give a different meaning to a certain answer than<br />
another researcher, when conducting the same research, which could lead to different<br />
conclusions of the whole study. Therefore the subjectivity of the study could lead to<br />
difficulties in establishing the reliability and validity of the approaches and information. It<br />
is also difficult to detect the researcherʹs bias.<br />
