Definition

  • The qualitative interview can be seen as a conversation with a purpose, where the interviewer's aim is to obtain knowledge about the respondent's world. It is probably the most popular method of data collection in organization studies, either as the main method or as part of a broader research design (such as an ethnographic study).
