“…In this article, I have argued for more understanding, detail, intentionality, and thoughtfulness with regard to QDAS, and I hope my comments stimulate continued dialogue on the topic. Hostility, naive enthusiasm, or utopian belief in such programs (Duchastel & Armony, 1996) do not serve the field well. Technology offers many benefits to researchers, but it is vital that we think carefully regarding when and how it is used.…”

Qualitative Data Analysis Software: A Call for Understanding, Detail, Intentionality, and Thoughtfulness Qualitative data analysis software (QDAS) programs have gained in popularity, but family researchers may have little training in using them and a limited understanding of important issues related to their use. This article urges increased understanding, detail, intentionality, and thoughtfulness with regard to QDAS. A brief history of QDAS is provided. Familyfocused research trends in qualitative research and QDAS use are presented. Factors to be considered when choosing a qualitative software program are described, and current debates in the field noted. Suggestions for increasing dialogue about QDAS in the field of family studies are included.Researchers appear to be increasingly using or interested in using qualitative data analysis software (QDAS) programs such as Atlas.ti, MAXQDA, and NVivo in their qualitative or mixed-methods research, yet training and understanding in this area lags behind such interest. An adequate understanding of QDAS issues, such as how programs are changing and how their evolving and increasingly complex features influence analyses, is important for

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the determinants of operational and liquidity risk reporting for the Tunisian insurance and banking sectors after the outbreak of the Tunisian revolution on 14 January 2011. Design/methodology/approach A manual content analysis approach was used to measure risk disclosure by counting the number of risk-related words within risk-related sentences in a wide range of publications. Findings The results show that operational risk disclosure is associated positively with operational losses frequency, institution size and the proportion of independent non-executive members of the board of directors. Also, board size is found to be negatively associated with risk disclosure. Moreover, net stable funding ratio, size and proportion of independent non-executive members have a positive effect on liquidity risk disclosure. The authors also discover that infrequency of board meetings and the presence of young members on the board increase the extent of liquidity risk information. Research limitations/implications The research focuses on a small number of observations which somewhat restrict the generalization of results to the entire class of financial sector in Tunisia. Also, the qualitative character of some supposed explanatory variables (frequency and severity of operational risk) relies heavily on the experiences of interviewees and their basic perceptions. Practical implications Investors might do well to rely on such characteristics (large board size, less active board and a high proportion of non-executive directors) to predict the disclosure of risk information, either operational or liquidity risk. Board members should keep an eye on reporting on risk, by promoting the success keys of governance, because good corporate governance has to be recognizable at first to be an effective value driver. Originality/value The findings rationalize the debate over the impact of improved corporate governance on risk disclosure practices within the context of the Tunisian revolution. The logic of this rationalization may help to promote political incentives that will encourage a risk management culture based on a dynamic communication framework.

Formalized Methods and Procedures in Content and Discourse Analysis in Contemporary French Sociological Research—State of the Arts and a Classification Attempt. An initial awareness is needed of the debates regarding the choice of research approaches in sociology and the diversity and specificity of methods currently being used in the domain of textual data analysis in France. In general the influence of the French socio-linguistic tradition looms large, including, on the one hand, the older works of Michel Pécheux on the “discursive formations” and his A.A.D. (Analyse Automatique du Discours, 1969), and on the other hand, two main perspectives of the “Ecole Française d'Analyse du/de Discours”—which refer to the speech actconcept and to the problematics of enunciation, and emphasizes the processes and “sociodiscursive practices” between socially-located speakers. Such theoretical conceptions and specific requirements lead to build on methodologies different from the classic, theme-based content analysis, though not yet translated into an operational software. Then the main software developments currently having an impact (at least potential) on practices of computer-aided sociological analysis of textual data, in France, are classified: from the lexicometric using procedures of French Data Analysis (‘Analyse Factortelle des Correspondances’ of Benzecri, and so on…), to a set of “expert-systems” working on specific theoretical frameworks, through more classical methods of content analysis and coding-sorting-retrieving socio-semantic procedures. eventually with various statistical methods.
