| 本章讨论了实证研究的第一阶段，包括数据收集、数据分析和调查结果。 本章讨论了如何在研究过程中使用不同的数据收集和分析方法，以找到研究问题的答案。特别是，本章描述了使用半结构化面试方法收集数据的研究（下一节）。 研究中采用了取样技术，其次是访谈问题的发展和访谈的过程。然后讨论了定性数据分析方法，并对第一阶段的实证结果作了详细的介绍和解释。 本章还将强调对弹性概念的贡献。这是通过结合实证结果细化主动性能测量SC弹性（2pm-scr）框架开发较早的文献。四矩阵已经被开发来定义之间的三个主要构建了供应链弹性的关系：风险、KPI和能力。 Chapter four: Stage 1 – qualitative data collection, analysis and empirical findings 4.1Introduction This chapter discusses the first stage of empirical study, including its data collection, data analysis and findings. This chapter discusses how different data collection and analysis methods were used during the research to find answers to the research questions. In particular, this chapter describes the use of semi-structured interview method to collect data for the research (next section). Sampling techniques used for the study are discussed, followed by the development of interview questions and process of conducting interviews. Then the qualitative data analysis approach will be discussed.Empirical findings of the stage one are presented and explained in detail. This chapter will also highlight the contribution to the concept of resilience. This would be achieved through incorporating empirical findings to refine the Proactive Performance Measurement for SC resilience (2PM-SCR) framework earlier developed from the literature. Four matrices have been developed to define the relations between the three main constructs of supply chain resilience: risks, KPIs, and capabilities. 4.2Sampling technique The number and content of interviews was based non-probability sampling techniques; Purposive (Judgmental), and Snowball sampling. The initial participant sample is based on the participant’s interest to participate in the research. In purposive sampling, participants were selected based on pre-selected criteria which will best enable the researcher to answer the research questions. Thus, purposive sampling ensures adequate representation of important themes. Then each interviewee was asked towards the end of the interview whom they may think would be suitable for a similar interview and who may be knowledgeable about the phenomena (snowball sampling). Thus, recommendations will be taken from people who know people who know that they are suitable for similar lines on questioning around the research framework. |
