WinRelan® software includes the following functions to provide a comprehensive analysis of the data available:
> Adopting texts:
Following transcription, word documents or text documents are imported into the Winrelan program.
> Encoding:
The texts are then encoded.
> The Cluster analysis:
These are automatically split into provisional text groups.
> The Gestalten-tree:
The text groups are clustered into meaningful and contradictionless problems and themes and are ordered hierarchically according to linguistic gestalts and
hypergestalts.
> The causal network:
The statements of the interviewees concerning assumed causes and effects are represented as a complex network.
> The value profile:
Value judgements, wishes and attitudes expressed in the answerrs are listed according to their frequencies.
> The Relevancy analysis:
From the gestalten tree, causal network and evaluation profile we can obtain the strategically relevant core variables for the project investigated.
> Understanding complex situations:
By navigating through the gestalt tree we can follow the argumentative links of the interviewees and obtain a deductively ordered overview.
> Basic values and higher goals:
Some of the significant core variables express the value system of the goup. They are basic values and higher aims, which are explicated - they serve the formulation of a model.
> Means:
Usually, interviewees’ propose realizable means to improve problem situations. Probable effects and side effects in relation to basic values and primary goals can be simulated.
> Decision Support in the Selection of Means:
Groups of individuals, professional groups, departments and organizations determine focal problem fields and select priority means for the realization of specific goals.
> Comparison of Results:
To compare opinions pro and contra, dialogues between groups of individuals are simulated to facilitate the understanding of others in their own language and to resolve conflicts.
