The uses of qualitative data in multimethodology: Developing causal loop diagrams during the coding process
Theoretical background is multimethodology, paradigm crossing and integrated bridging strategy. Three case studies from organisational change and entrepreneurial study illustrate the method. The method has the potential to improve dynamic sensibility in qualitative data analysis. Improves rigor in developing CLDs during the formation stage of system dynamics modelling. Recommendation that exploration of dynamic behaviour is contemporaneous with coding in CAQDAS.
