Key components when utilising BYOD within organisations - A framework for developing the BYOD policy
(2018) INFM10 20181Department of Informatics
- Abstract
- In this thesis, we introduce a theoretical framework that can act as a foundation when develop-ing and adopting a BYOD policy.

Our literature study indicates that the biggest advantage in regard to implementation of BYOD is cost reduction, moving the actual cost to the employees. In contrast, the biggest disadvantage is ensuring securi-ty and safe accessibility. Our findings indicates that security indeed is an issue, and that knowledge needs to be spread throughout the entire organization, while the biggest advantages turned out to be comfort and flexibility in the daily work. Our conclusion is that companies... (More)
