What are the methods to assign weights for factors and sub-factors of a maturity model?

We have evaluated two stakeholders networks of two same type of events in regard three different criteria (communication, collaboration and knowledge exchange). Using UCINET software we have generated main network values that depict its structure (seven different network values). Since we have only one network with seven network values on one side and other with same characteristics on other side, we cannot implement any statistics (or maybe I am not right?), however, we would appreciate if anyone could suggest us any other numeric approach (rather than descriptive) to confront these two event stakeholders networks and determine if they are similar or not.

Thank you a lot in advance

I am doing research in innovation and I'm conducting a face-to-face interview, I've already conducted 3, but one of the potential interviewees seems to have issues with time availability and has been insistent in alternatives to face-to-face interviews. She initially asked to reply via e-mail, to which I had to politely refuse since it's semi-structured and a written reply wouldn't suffice. To this, she replied asking if it was possible to conduct the interview via telephone. I'm wondering if this will compromise the results of the interview since it's a different method of data collection. It would allow me to conduct the interview in a semi-structured way, but I'm still confused, so I don't know if I should insist on face-to-face or accept the phone interview and prepare for that. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you very much.

Mixed method research design.

I am looking for methods to analyze participants perception on future outcomes collected through a survey followed by qualitative data collected through focus groups. How do I combine data from these two sources and conduct a mixed methodology (Qualitative + Quantitative)? Is there any other better approach than the mixed methodology?

Thank you in advance for reading my inquiry.

Among the various methods of data collection in qualitative research, some are most frequently used like focus group. Frequently used methods of data collection in qualitative research.

An exploration of lecturers’ perceptions of the influence of motivation on teaching, research and publications: A case study at the University X

1. To identify the various types of motivation strategies administered at the University in the context of teaching, research and publication

2. To find out how the faculty management uses the motivation

strategies to inspire the academic staff in the realisation of teaching, research and publication goals

3. To explore the perceptions of academic staff on the relationship between motivation and teaching, research and publication

1. Semi- structured interview (Mix method)

2. Questionnaires (Mix method)

I am planning to conduct a research on use of smart phone for health awareness among the villagers. I am confuse to use data collection tool to collect data. Can you suggest me the best tool for data collection from the villagers. I am planning to use focus group or schedule. Please suggest best one.
