Posted on | by Kelvin

 

Review of Qualitative Data Analysis Techniques:

Chapter 13 provides an overview of various qualitative analysis techniques available to managers that have collected qualitative data (e.g., verbal, textual, or visual) to answer a business question or resolve a business problem.

The Marketing Vice President (VP) is now ready to analyze the qualitative data collected to understand which features consumers prefer for their smartphones.

The Marketing VP needs to determine the customers’ preferred features. About 1 month ago, the company requested 200 randomly selected individuals to participate in an interview of smartphone features. One-on-one interviews were conducted with 60 of those individuals who agreed to participate. One of the questions discussed asked specifically what features were most important when deciding to purchase a smartphone. The company discussed the features that the participants cited as most important when purchasing a smartphone using several interview questions. Below are the participants’ responses.

Family life education is relevant across the lifespan, is inclusive of all types of families, and is designed to meet the needs of the target audience (Arcus, Schvaneveldt, & Moss, 1993).
In regard to diverse audiences, program content must be culturally appropriate in order to be effective. Family life educators must determine the appropriate scope of their program and establish the relevance, or applicability, to their audience (NCFR, 2010b).
