Reflective Journal - Literature review Example

Reflective Journal It is a very interesting which helped me learn a variety of new concepts and ideas. I have learned about a lot of new technologies and tools. This coursework has offered me an opportunity to learn how a research work is conducted. This coursework has allowed me to search for the required information to answer a specific question. For this coursework, I had chosen the topic “impact of information technology on hospitality firms”. In order to complete this task effectively, I have spent a lot of time in searching for the research papers and articles which can prove the authenticity of this topic.

The major source that I have used for collecting information was ‘Emerald’. It is a large size database of research papers and journal articles. It provides journals and research papers on almost all the topics of business and information technology. One of the major things that I could not do in this research is some kind of original research. I mean, if I would have been given with additional timeline then I would have visited some hotels and hospitality firms to learn how they work and how they make use of information technology to gain benefits.

I would have conducted interviews and filled questionnaires. I would have used that data to derive conclusions and on the basis of those conclusions I would have suggested new ideas to improve these trends. However, I will surely perform these steps in next assignments. As the topic is very common so I found a lot of data on this topic. On the other hand, there are numerous research papers which provide the same information so the selection of papers was a difficult task.
