[AISWorld] interesting

[Sam Lubbe]

Good morning all
 
I would like to find out viewpoints.
 
Is it possible for an MBA Mini-dissertation to show that they can do research by following qualitative methods (that is doing interviews) but not transcribing it and placing it as your own summary. My questions are:
    1. Is it not better to do full transcripts of the interviews?
    2. Place a synopses in the body of the text.
    3. Analyse the transcript through a textual analysis software program (content analysis) and then do some form of stats on the tables retrieved.
    4. My feeling is that if a qualitative study is done then bias is present if one do not show the transcript. 
    5. Also, is it not better for students to do a questionnaire if the time limit is 6 months to complete the questionnaire.
    What is the feeling of the community? If I get enough responses I shall summarise and make available in the usual way.
    Regards
