Abstract
A research methodology is used to bring structure into a setting, and for qualitative analysis a research methodology is used to particularly bring meaning. For a nontransparent field such as the topic of this research, in particular, structure and meaning are very important. As the researcher is trying to discover categories rather than verify an existing theory, this research is exploratory in nature.
