Managing Mass Collaboration
Ahmad Ghazawneh
According to Pawson & Tilley (1997) one of the main objectives of realistic interviews is that the set of asked questions should be understood in a way that allows informants to think about the subject silently, for instance, the informant could think about that in a silent way by saying ‘Yes, I understand the second stage in the process framework of managing mass collaboration projects, and the concepts are clear now. And my answer is .....’ In so doing, the informants thoughts will be deliver to the context of the study and to the researchers own theory.
