Title

Process

Description

Process demonstrates the ability of individuals, organizations, and groups to respond to and/or shape the situations in which they find themselves. In addition, process illustrates how groups align or misalign their actions/interactions and, thereby, are able to maintain social order, put on aplay, have a party, do work, create chaos, or fight a war. As researchers, we want to capture these dynamic qualities and varied scenarios of action/interaction.Process in data is represented by happenings and events that may or may not occur in continuous forms or sequences. It always can be located in a context. How one conceptualizes or describes process is variable. Although process often is described by analysts as stages or phases, it also can be examined in terms of sequences or shifts in the nature of action/interaction. The choice of form depends on the data and the research question.
