“…The publicly available information is a resource that researchers can leverage as advanced preparation (Denscombe, 2003). From our experience, we concur with the view that the effectiveness of elite interviews hinges on the knowledgeability of the interviewees (Natow, 2020). As observed earlier, time for interview is a precious resource and there is a skill to using what can be obtained elsewhere from the public domain in the interview to make the best use of interview time to focus discussion, probe, challenge, and augment questioning.…”

“…Indeed, once raised, they often relished the opportunity to talk in a fuller way about an issue that they felt had not necessarily been adequately covered in the public domain through journalistic accounts and other media commentaries. Asking well-informed questions about critical incidents affords credibility, the ability to “triangulate” information (Natow, 2020), and the possibility to reach beyond superficial generalities and impression management.…”

“…Due to their roles at the apex of organizations, business elites, such as CEOs, top executives, and boards of directors, are of particular interest to management research and interviews are a key method for collecting data about them. Compared with other methods, interviews have the distinctive advantage that they involve actual encounters with people generally considered as difficult to reach with the potential to generate information that is novel and insightful (Natow, 2020) about what elites say and do; the settings in which they operate; their motivations, assumptions, meanings; and their relationships, decisions, and actions. In this regard, interviewing is a way to understand elite agency and their interactions, which are often widely dispersed across time and space.…”

Interviews are an important method for studying a wide range of phenomena, especially those that directly involve members of the so-called business elite, which typically includes CEOs, top managers, and boards of directors. While it is necessary to get close to these actors and their settings for gaining valuable research insights, interviews are challenging interactions to accomplish. Even when one has negotiated access, members of the business elite are typically time-constrained, knowledgeable, used to being in a dominant position, and visible in the public domain and involved in impression management. These particularities pose distinctive challenges for collecting rich and authentic empirical material about important organizational, managerial, and societal matters. Drawing on our own experience, as well as the literature on qualitative interviewing and elites research, we discuss how different research designs and interview practices can help deal with these challenges.

Two scenarios for 5G deployment in Indonesia

While some other countries had started their 5G deployment with excellent business use cases, Indonesia is restrained for a moment due to the unreadiness of 5G actors. Several factors which still need attention from 5G actors in Indonesia are telecommunication infrastructures such as spectrum frequency and transport, policy and regulation, innovation ecosystem and social impact. Despite those concerning factors, there are also key drivers that stimulate the 5G deployment in Indonesia. They are demand and needs from end customers, cost reduction and additional revenue stream from mobile network operator, industry automation and country competitive advantage. Two scenarios are built using those key drivers following the scenario-based planning methodology. The scenarios are called The Optimistic Champion and The Wait and Respond.

“…Prior to conducting these interviews, we reviewed policy documents and government websites, namely: the immigration websites and policy documents of the four provincial governments, LIP documents and newsletters, and City initiatives. Combining interviews with document analysis is a common "within-method" strategy of data triangulation in qualitative research (Natow 2019). This initial scoping review informed our interview guides and helped us to identify potential participants.…”

Live, Work, and Stay? Geographies of Immigrant Receptivity in Atlantic Canada’s Aspiring Gateways

Global research on new immigrant destinations prioritizes the study of places experiencing rapid demographic change. Immigration is increasingly promoted, however, as a policy tool to encourage stability in peripheral regions, cities, and communities. This paper introduces the concept of the aspiring gateway to describe locations that attract few immigrants but proactively aspire to become welcoming communities. We make this case through an examination of the geographies of immigrant receptivity in Atlantic Canada. Our findings are based on 22 interviews with participants in the immigration sector in Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. Highlighting the powerful role of non-state actors and public discourses, our analysis considers the ambiguities and mixed messages of the place-based immigration policies of this region. We argue that a more pluralistic understanding of immigrant gateways must include peripheral spaces that are relatively isolated from international migration flows. Aspiring gateways require a rethinking of assumptions formed in and about new immigrant destinations. Keywords: immigration, immigrant receptivity, new immigrant destinations, urban, Canada. "What can Appalachia learn from Atlantic Canada?" asked a 2018 editorial in The Roanoke Times, referring to pro-immigration strategies in Canada's easternmost provinces and their Submitted version_Aspiring Gateways, Pottie-Sherman and Graham 2 potential to address economic challenges in Virginia's coal counties. Along similar lines, a recent proposal for a place-based visa-the Heartland Visa-calls for U.S. immigration reform to aid struggling regions, citing the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) as a model (Ozimek et al. 2019). Unlike the U.S., encouraging immigration to and supporting integration in non-traditional destinations have become some of the central goals of Canadian immigration federalism: the system of shared management of immigration by the provinces, territories, and federal government which emerged in the 1990s (IRCC 2018; Paquet 2019). Proimmigration proposals in America's coal counties stand out in a period in which anti-immigrant rhetoric is increasingly prevalent (Marrow 2020). At the same time, calls that celebrate Atlantic Canada as an immigration success story are surprising given the region has the lowest immigration levels in Canada (Statistics Canada 2017). These contradictions illustrate the need for migration studies in peripheral regions. How are international migration experiences transforming places and regions on the periphery, and conversely, how are such locations transforming themselves to encourage international migration? What, if any, approaches can be adapted? Writing from St. John's, Canada's easternmost city, our questions are inspired by calls to decenter urban studies to consider what takes place beyond major cities, on the periphery, and in unconventional urban spaces (e.g., Roy 2011; Derickson 2015).
