“…Thus, in some cases, excessive precision and detail in transcription can obscure more analytically important elements of the data (Bogen, 1992), and as our findings suggest, actually serve to undermine the apparent certainty of interviewees' responses. 11 Transcription as is already known, is not neutral; it is itself a form of decision making Bolden, 2012, 2017;Mishler, 1991b;Hammersley, 2010b;Bucholtz, 2000;Green et al, 1997;Deschambault, 2011Deschambault, ,2012. Variations in the transcription of interview data, including the degree of meticulousness in verbatim transcription of speech as well as decisions about whether or not to preserve non-linguistic acts such as laughing, crying, sighing, gestures, and articulated disfluencies such as uhms and ers, 'directly influence the nature and direction of the analysis' (Sandelowski, 1994: 311; see also Bucholtz, 2007), and, as this experiment has shown, the way in which research subjects are perceived by readers.…”

We report a small empirical study on the way the transcription used to represent speech affects its meaning. We show that ‘disfluencies’ in speech indicate far more uncertainty in the speaker when transmitted in text than when transmitted in recorded sound. This has important implications for how transcribed interviews should be edited when they are being used to convey meaning rather than the organization of phonemes. We propose the implications of different ways of representing speech in text could be a new subject for investigation. Presented here is one possible empirical approach to such studies.

“…Given the proposed aims of this study, semi-structured interviews were used as a data collection tool. Such interviews allowed for the opportunity to follow a predetermined structure from which all participants had the opportunity to answer the same questions (Deschambault 2011). The duration of these interviews ranged from 45 to 60 min and were all conducted on the entrepreneurs' premises by appointment over an 8-month period.…”

Background: The South African construction industry is noted to be one of the most popular industries heavily dependent on projects. Calls exist for research that ascertains not just how entrepreneurs act as project managers but also the evaluation of project success and the role information management plays in all this.Objectives: The aim of this study was to understand the views and experiences of entrepreneurs in how: (1) project management success is conceptualised, and (2) the role that information management played to this within a South African construction industry space.Method: The study adopts a qualitative research approach using semi-structured interviews to generate narratives and themes around how: (1) project management success is conceptualised, and (2) the role that information management played to this. A sample of 15 entrepreneurs working within the construction industry was used for this study.Results: Based on the analysis of the narratives of the 15 entrepreneurs, project success was conceptualised mainly along three themes. Firstly, project success was about keeping the customer happy. Secondly, project success in the construction industry meant meeting the set targets, especially those of a financial nature. Finally, project success was about channelling internal synergies to realise external gains. Further, the 15 entrepreneurs espoused one main sub-theme around the role of information management to this conceptualisation of project success. This posits the role of information management to be a currency in effective decision-making.Conclusion: The study concluded by focusing on the implications and recommendations based on the identified themes.
