“…According to Pratt (, p. 856), “Qualitative research is great for addressing “how” questions—rather than “how many”; for understanding the world from the perspective of those studies (…).” Thus, qualitative studies to not seek generalizability, but each concept that emerges from the data stands in its own right, such as Sigglekow's “talking pig” (Kacynski, Salmona, & Smith, ; Siggelkow, ). Accordingly, the sampling strategy followed the concept of theoretical sampling and the process of data collection and analysis continued until theoretical saturation was reached (Corbin & Strauss, ).…”

This paper addresses the question, what influences the insurance demand of companies and examines the influence of managerial risk aversion in this decision process. An explorative research approach based on qualitative data analysis is applied to explore the factors influencing the insurance related decision behavior in organizations. Using interviews and observations of firm's insurance managers, the results identify interdependencies between factors of insurance demand, such as ownership structure, managerial discretion, volatility of earning, size, services of the insurer, and business diversification which allows to propose a framework of contextual factors affecting company's insurance demand. Within this framework, the data imply managerial risk attitudes as decisive factor in the decision process about insurance demand in companies. This explorative study enriches the existing theories of firms’ insurance demand and addresses feedback from practice into theory.

This study has two related goals – one very specific and one more general. The specific goal is to constructively engage with Lodhia (2017) on the issue of whether and to what extent ‘qualitative cousins’ are well served by Faff's (2015) original pitching research (PR) template. Using this ‘cousins’ focus as a primer, the more general goal is to update the agenda created by Faff (2015) and in so doing, explore the ‘extended family’ of PR work/resources now available.

“…Working with data using a qualitative data analysis software program allows the researcher to scrutinize for context and meaning and allows patterns or clusters to emerge providing the researcher with insight into the deeper meaning that exists within the data (Kaczynski, Salmona, & Smith, 2014). The data analysis followed a sequence of reading, highlighting, interpreting, and ordering information as patterns emerged and were noted.…”
