Context 1
... exploratory analysis allowed the identification of metadata and the creation of the first table (Table 2), which stimulated a deeper analysis based on qualitative data that could be quickly mobilized and translated into quantitative data. After several attempts and failures to find consistent variables that could be quantitatively translated to create quantifiable numerical data (Table 3), we arrived at Table 4. Note that this table was created after several reading and trial-and-error cycles of the analysis. ...Context 2
... that this table was created after several reading and trial-and-error cycles of the analysis. In Table 5, greater sophistication is noted in the aggregation of information derived from the NVivo qualitative data analysis program, which was possible after several revisions of the codes created in the software, the identification and exclusion of the operationalization of some qualitative data (Table 3), and the nearly exhaustive analysis of the minutes. Finally, all variables were aggregated with their respective concepts, generating Table 1. Figure 1 illustrates the flow of creation for the tables presented in this article. ...Context 3
... though Table 1 presents the qualitative data related to each variable of each concept, it is important to emphasize that some of the data found were not apt for operationalization, especially due to flawed structuring of the minutes that favored the inclusion of relevant and systematic information related to practical issues of interest to the management. In addition to this element, other characteristics of the datum made its collection and analysis impossible (Table 3). There was a limitation on the number of subjects inserted by the PEIC director on the agenda, considering the cost of time and human resources for each subject. ...
