However pre-processes like AVT workshops

The fast bulk of popular SNA based on questionaires has neither validity not compliance Rosetta Stone Software with sound ethical principles . I have elaborated this position (and some legitimate approaches) using Cross and Parker's book as a base in this article: AVT workshops: These are designed to create cultural signifiers and we went to considerable effort to reduce bias (the method was developed in Denmark and Singapore so we could facilitate in English but conversations would take place in Danish and Mandarin). It is a pre process to reduce bias before an interpretative process takes place, and that interpretative process of necessity has problems. However pre-processes like AVT workshops are ways in which we can reduce some of the issues with semi-strucutured interviews providing (to a degree) some of the contol mechanisms that exist when a Doctor is doing diagnosis. Comparative AVT's (between two groups) provide relative indicators which are more objective than absolute ones.Concept Mapping: another one of those phrases with lots of instantiations. It is a representation technique and has the semantic issues mentioned earlier (which limits is usefulness) and the input issues that apply to SNAOral History: the traditional Rosetta Stone Language use of this in anthropology is heavily biased as you can see by going and looking at some of the examples in the Australian National Museum with an indigenous companion. We have developed a computer mediated KM approach based on oral history which will also incorporate social computing (more on this in Canberra) which we think will provide research data without significant bias when you have large volumes of material.Metaphor simulations: This is a subset of anthro-simulation and is primarily used as a learning mechanisms. Like those in could in part, with careful preparation provide some objective research data.On-line surveys: you can gather material in an on-line environment, what matters is how you do it. The vast majority of these fall into the "random answers have the same validity" category.Structured interviews: the structure determines the answer! Only useful for factual data which can be validated by sample checks. No value other than a a crude pre-process in other areas.Model creation by Rosetta Stone Korean social construction: This is not a research method per se, it is designed to create strategic frameworks.
