USING FUZZY SET QUALITATIVE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS, FSQCA [CASE STUDY]

USING FUZZY SET QUALITATIVE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS, FSQCA [CASE STUDY]

2013.impactready.org –

"Fuzzy-set analysis works from the assumption that the life isn’t black and white. Things can be more black, or more white, but rarely are they all one or the other. Certain questions, such as whether you are male or female are simple enough, but others such as “are you happy with the government’s economic policy?” tend to result in a more mixed answer, with a respondent being perhaps more than less in favour of the policy, but not completely happy or completely unhappy with it.

A thought about quantitative evidence

stconsultant.blogspot.com –

Evaluation professionals seem to emphasize quantitative evidence over qualitative.

Secrecy still prevails in how natural resources are managed, and this conspires against economic development. The lives of over a billion citizens could be transformed if their governments managed their oil, gas and minerals in a more open, accountable manner. This emerges from the Resource Governance Index, which my organization, Revenue Watch Institute, released recently. The Index measures the transparency and accountability in the oil, gas and mining sector of 58 countries. Together these more...

Can an 'open' government site be open if it is poorly designed?

Can an 'open' government site be open if it is poorly designed?

egovau.blogspot.in –

For some technically orientated people design can be an afterthought. Their focus is on making a system or machine work as it should, able to take in data and spit out information correctly and quickly. For these people, design is a 'nice to have' added towards the end of the process, with sites and systems made 'pretty' to appease the communications and marketing people, but is otherwise non-functional. I've participated in many IT-led 'design' processes, where the focus was on how entities more...

globalintegrity.org –

"Inevitably, there will be questions about what we are each prepared to sign up to," said British Prime Minister David Cameron in January 13, in his letter to fellow G8 leaders. Four months later, Russia has made clear it clear what it wasn't willing to sing onto: the Open Government Partnership (OGP). The most recent update on Russia is that the Kremlin will be pursuing "open government" on its own terms. Russia has withdrawn the letter of intent that it submitted on April 2012 in more...
