Qualitative Research. We have made provision for 85 in-depth interviews as part of this study. This includes five in-depth interviews in each of the 17 communities. The purpose of the interviews would be to gain a deeper understanding of how consumers had responded to the different delivery approaches, explore in more detail what they considered the impact to be. Research would also take place with those who had refused measures to understand the extent to which they have realised benefits, and what if anything, might persuade them to take-up new measures. We believe that in-depth interviews will be more effective to explore these issues than group discussions as they will enable interviewers to probe on specific situations which led to the installation of CESP and CERT measures, as well as in-depth discussions about any resulting impact on the individual or household. We would recommend face-to-face depth interviews conducted in-home rather than telephone interviews. By placing the interview in the home the respondent can clearly highlight any benefits or misgivings they have about the installations, as well as the physical factors that shape their behaviour. The researchers will be able to observe the respondent in their own environment and to some degree how they behave which will add richness to the data.
Qualitative Research. The main purpose of this master’s dissertation is to propose a list of the determining triggers of entrepreneurs. Since the number of articles on this subject is very limited, a qualitative research study will be conducted whereby the subject can be examined in depth using interviews conducted with 11 entrepreneurs. As the literature review will provide a general list of triggers, the aim of the interviews is to verify and complete this list. Entrepreneurs from different sectors and of different genders will be interviewed. The one thing they should have in common is their period of existence. The interviewees must be owners of a startup company. Because different sectors are covered and the entrepreneurs can be male or female, multiple angles can be captured and an over-emphasis on specific aspects or single cases will be avoided. Nevertheless, the focus will be on young companies. Interviewing both entrepreneurs owning a start-up and entrepreneurs who have established more mature companies, might be too excessive. The method that will be used is called in-depth interviews. The interviewees are found through the use of LinkedIn, the magazine Trends and ‘Durf Ondernemen’, an initiative from the university of Ghent.
