The research methodology is the key component of the study that outlines the detailed activities of the research being undertaken. The research method selected is imperative in setting the right direction for the research and ensures the validity of the data collected. The chapter starts by describing the paradigm and various research for the approach adopted by the current research. The research was carried out by first exploring gaps in the literature. The findings contributed plausible factors to the conceptualization of the research framework. The research then, employed exploratory approach to determine control measures that mitigate BYOD risks qualitatively. These control measures along with the underexplored factors formed the BYOD security policy framework, which was later validated quantitatively in the following phase. The methodology chapter in this thesis describes the research paradigm, research design and the data collection procedures. The sampling technique and size, unit of analysis, research instrument, validity and reliability of the instrument as well as the procedures to analyze the data are also detailed in this chapter. A short summary ends this chapter.
