Answer 1

27. Which of the following statements regarding nature of theory are correct?

b&c

b. The theories consists of relationships between concepts that provides explanation for phenomena

c. Theoretical development often occurs in order to keep pace with a changing world

As we can clearly see that only these two are relevant regarding general nature of theory. a and d don't hold as every theory needs some facts or research to back it up and be accepted. Moreover, it should address some concern that wasn't there before or solve a business problem. For d, we see that the publisher needs to review his paper to check continuity as there is a chance that the theory may become antiquated.

28. In qualitative research the coding of categories is

4. used to quantify the data

The data can consist of interview transcripts, participant observation field notes, journals, documents, literature, artifacts, photographs, video, websites, e-mail correspondence, and so on. By coding we can assign words or short phrases to that summarises and helps understand trends and patterns in the data.
