Bellow you can download our current agenda, the background reading for our project, the link to the elluminate recordings of QDA training, and the weekly project update template. I encourage all of you to add content that you believe to be beneficial to the success of our research project 

We are currently using e-mail archives from the Word Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in order to determine what impact culture has on globally distributed decision making processes. Our research questions are:

   I.   What is the overall level of activity for decision making processes? 

 II.   Does activity vary by country/nationality?

III.   Does individual participation level vary by country/nationality? 

IV.  What is the relationship between culture (nationality/region, intercultural  communication styles)

       and distributed decision making?

We are hoping to develop a repeatable methodology, currently using QDA Miner and WordStat, in order to be able to apply it to future data. 

Here are links to elluminate sessions with the developer of QDA.

Have a look (quality improves drastically after the first one):
