Data collection
The data collection strategies that are most relevant in the case of AH Classics as a business include focus groups and observation. With the help of these techniques, I am trying to comprehend the functional as well as non-functional needs for developing a new business system using these data-gathering methodologies in order to understand how the new system will work as well as to determine the characteristics and qualities of the new system. Focus groups are a qualitative data collection method and observational data is captured through observation of a behavior or activity.
The data collection technique used is a type of interview which is done in the focus group discussion. Focus group are special types of workshops which is done to elicit the views and opinions of all employees as well as the stakeholders with regards to the operation of the existing business system. In addition, Observation of the workshop and the office of AH Classics is another technique used to obtain tacit knowledge. Focus groups provide a diverse range of consumer profiles, and they are the most effective means for consumers to exchange ideas and discuss issues. Furthermore, focus groups will cost less than one-on-one interviews. It also verifies findings from other qualitative methods, if the analytical treatment is relatively light. The moderator's role is equally crucial in getting individuals to talk and participate. As a result, the chance of failure is much larger. In place of observation method, it is easiest and needs less cooperation of the respondent and provides high accuracy information. But the major disadvantage of this technique is that it is time-consuming, and the past life information remains unknown.
Audio and tape recording, note-taking, and participant observation are the basic means of data collecting during a focus group discussion. Focus group discussion is a common qualitative method for gaining a deeper understanding of social issues. The approach tries to collect data from a carefully chosen sample of people. It's crucial to understand the relationship between people's views and their cultural conditions at work in order to pinpoint the problem. Observation is a method of acquiring information through observing behavior, events, or physical characteristics in the natural environment and during the work process. This strategy begins with the initial engagement with AH Classics and continues via focus group discussions, surveys, and a business visit.
It was simple to study and grasp the process of conducting these approaches with the use of these strategies, as well as what things should be kept in mind to avoid missing out on any important information. Most importantly, I was able to comprehend the different types of qualitative and observational data that may be obtained, as well as the different scenarios in which these techniques can be applied.
An interview process is another technique that may be useful for data collecting in the AH Classic business. This is because using the interview method, you can receive a detailed study of the current business system of AH Classics. A targeted interviewee with a longer speaking time will be able to provide deeper insights.
