Using computer software for the analysis of qualitative market research data

Article Abstract:

The increasing use of computers and software programs in qualitative data analysis has triggered the suspicion of qualitative researchers who fear that programmed analysis will dull the thinking and intuitive processes. Research conducted among program users, however, has revealed the fact that programs are incapable of thinking. Rather, they only help the researcher in storing, labeling, managing and storing large volumes of information. The programs' major contribution, therefore, to qualitative research is ensuring that the researcher conducts more, speedier studies.
