Open source caqdas what is in the box and what is missingMerlien Institute
This document discusses open source computer-aided qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS) alternatives to proprietary packages. It provides an overview of the open source movement and free/open source software philosophies. It then summarizes the features and capabilities of several popular open source CAQDAS tools, including QDA Miner Lite, Dedoose, NVivo, Atlas.ti, RQDA, and DReSS. Overall, it finds that while open source CAQDAS packages offer many useful features, their functionality is more limited than proprietary alternatives.
Www.healthtalkonline.org a resource for patients, nice and commissioningMerlien Institute
Health Talk Online is a website featuring over 60 collections of qualitative interviews about various health conditions and experiences. The interviews are conducted using narrative methods with diverse patients throughout the UK. Over 3,000 video and audio clips have been extracted from the interviews. The site is a resource for patients, caregivers, health professionals, and those developing healthcare policy and quality standards. Researchers at the University of Oxford conduct the interviews and analyze them to identify key themes. The full interview collections are also available for secondary analysis by other researchers and to inform healthcare improvement initiatives.
The documents discuss developing a new strategic decision-making framework that can withstand volatility. It proposes splitting value drivers into market drivers and model drivers to provide stability. A key part of the framework is understanding the full return exposure, including downside and upside, rather than single-point forecasts. It also emphasizes identifying and utilizing options within investment, operating, and ownership models to influence return exposure. Testing potential return outcomes under different scenarios is presented as an important way to apply the framework and understand the impact of strategic decisions.

- Executives will be increasingly measured on limiting downside risk and increasing upside potential of investments, rather than just focusing on average or expected returns.
- Performance will be assessed based on three models: the investment model looking at overall project returns, the operating model looking at short-term margins/profits, and the ownership model looking at long-term shareholder returns.
- There is a trend for shareholders to pay more attention to balancing performance across all three models, rather than just focusing on one, due to increased volatility experienced in the financial crisis. Executives will need to demonstrate comprehensive management of risk and return across the investment, operating, and ownership aspects of portfolios.
Post-crisis investing: How global investors employ new modelsInduStreams
All sectors have been hit by the global economic crisis. In this presentation we take a look at infrastructure investors, more specifically sea port investors, to see how the best in the market are changing the way they invest. For more please go to www.port-investor.com.
This document discusses an initiative by Industreams Ltd to explore better ways of working with and gaining value from volatility in port and infrastructure investments. It acknowledges that precise forecasting is limited and payoffs are distributed over a wide range rather than single points. It introduces exploring a "payoff function" approach to understand how business model factors translate market variability into payoff outcomes. A case study demonstrates how understanding this can substantially shift a project's potential payoff distribution through options that limit downside risk and increase upside potential. The goal is to embrace variability and create robustness and upside in asset values through the payoff function.
