Definition(s)

  • Qualitative research is a field of inquiry that usually emphasizes words rather than numbers in data collection and analysis, is inductive in nature, and more concerned with rich description and meaning than causal connections and generalizations. The origins of qualitative research date back to the beginning of the 20th century. [Source: Encyclopedia of Business in Today's World; Research Methods: Qualitative]
