In this article we examine the characteristics, challenges and added value of qualitative prison research in a Belgian context. As the many dynamics and challenges of qualitative research are often underreported in academic publications, we pay particular attention to the research processes and the pains and gains of qualitative prison research. Firstly, drawing on experiences from several prison studies, we describe the different steps of gaining access to the field as a constant process of negotiation. Secondly, we discuss some of the dilemmas of prison research based on two ethnographic studies of prison staff. We end with discussion of the value added by a qualitative research approach to facilitate understanding of what is at stake in prisons and how this fits with a critical research position.

This study reviews research around sharia Value Added/Value Added (VA) accounting. This study uses descriptive qualitative analysis based on 100 samples of publication of selected journal articles related to VA, both national and international journals. The published samples of journal articles were published for the last 25 years from 1994 to 2018. The results show that value-added accounting research is still dominated by the theme of discussion (issues) about Value Added Statement/Reporting (54%), followed by discussion issues regarding Value Added (22%), then issues of institutional discussion (15%) and about management (9%). Indonesia, United States, United Kingdom and South Africa are the most studied areas, while the largest publication areas are Indonesia, United States, United Kingdom and India. Furthermore, comparative quantitative research and mixed methods are still less than the qualitative research approach. In addition, VA development periodization shows that each year it continues to grow from the initial sharia Value Added statement (SVAS) model, SVAS reconstruction, SVAS critical analysis, analysis of SVAS implementation, to improvement of the SVAS model.

In the last thirty years, participation factors have particularly attracted the interest of Adult Education researchers, and it could be said that this is probably one of the most discussed topics in this field. Hence, “participation theories” that relate organized educational activities can give a logical explanation for the complexity and multifactor nature of adult leading to educational practices. In these circumstances, the chapter presents recent findings of a qualitative research effort, conducted in the virtual world of Second Life (SL). This premise is recapitulated in an attempt to illuminate the theme of trainee users’ broad participation in collaborative e-learning activities based on the interpretive framework of “adults’ participation theories” that can interpret the motivational factors, recommended from McGivney (1993). The value-added effect helps one to understand the mobilization of different adults’ perspectives and thoroughly enunciate the key factors that influence the decision to participate in teamwork activities.

Firms need to assess the competitive advantage by determining the strategic advantages. TDABC is an instrument to achieve operational improvements in practice, reducing non value added activities and merge similar activities into one place. The objectives of this research is to calculate using the time driven activity based costing ( TDABC ) method on Tape Handayani 82 Small and Medium Enterprises ( SMEs ) in Bondowoso Regency. This study is a qualitative research. Design of qualitative methods is general, flexible, and thrives in the process of research. Researchers involve directly in order obtaining as much information. One focus of qualitative research is a phenomenon that can only be explained and cannot be measured, and the phenomenon observed by researchers in the field. Object of study is the Tape Handayani 82 SME that engaged in tape industry. Selections of the research object because tape is typical of the Bondowoso. Tape has relatively high market share, but in efficiency of time management, activities undertaken, not in accordance with time -driven activity-based costing concepts. Data collection methods used in this qualitative approach. This step is done by directly observe and conduct interviews with employer and owner who do day-to- day business activities especially financial. Recognition of cost of tape products show too low. As for the fuel smoked tape, tape, dodol and suwar suwir show the company recognize higher. Calculations with TDABC provide more accurate information related to the consumption cost. The result can be used to revise cost product. Added analysis of the activities does by identifying, preparing and evaluating activities description. The analysis identifies what activities are done, how many people who carry out these activities, the time and resources necessary to do the activity. TDABC analysis indicates that Tape 82 Handayani is not efficient yet. 70 % is still idle capacity so it is necessary to create added value activity. Idle capacity led to increased costs or consumes resources costs that are not necessary. Keywords: TDABC, activity, poduct cost, tape

Narrative Forms

Purpose Narrative accounts of subjective consumer experience are, in one form or another, an essential of qualitative market research. Ethnographic research and ethnographic poetry have obvious connections with the literary form, yet this form has had limited application. Based on the assumption that poetry as a craft is a somewhat limited narrative in ethnographic studies and specifically in studies that attend a consumer vulnerability agenda, this paper aims to contribute to a literary-based perspective. This paper advocates for ethnographic poetry as a consideration of disseminating qualitative data for those researchers immersed in ethnographic research with diverse and vulnerable populations. Design/methodology/approach The paper draws on a range of extant literature to draw out the distinguishing features of ethnographic poetry, in which to situate ethnographic narratives of two studies of consumer vulnerability. To assist in this, scholarly discussion in the paper is interposed with a series of interludes written in the ethnographic poetic style. These interludes are intended to epitomise merits of such an interpretive research approach. Findings This is a research paper seeking to draw attention to, and develop a relatively neglected research approach, ethnographic poetry. Researcher reflections, drawn from two ethnographic studies, suggest some tangible consequences of this research to generate further discussion of consumer vulnerability. Research limitations/implications The overall aim is to extend discussion of the particular qualities of ethnographic poetry that might contribute to better serve qualitative research approaches, when conducting ethnographic research. Practical implications The paper advocates a stronger focus on ethnographic poetry to liberate the imagination of researchers and readers alike to enrich and compliment the analysis of narrative forms of qualitative data drawn from an ethnographic approach. Originality/value This paper addresses the concept of ethnographic poetry, stemming from narrative-based qualitative research, which will be entirely new to many researchers and practitioners. It suggests tangible benefits that this new perception could bring to ethnographic research.

The Cost

Business Process Analysis can be used to eliminate or reduce a waste cost caused by non value added activities that exist in a process. This research aims at evaluating activities carried out in the natural material procurement process in the PT XYZ, calculating the effectiveness of the process cycle, finding a way to improve the process management, and calculating the cost reduction that can achieved by activity management. A case study was the approach of this research. The researcher obtained research data throughout deep interviews with the staff who directly involved in the process, observation, and documentation of natural material procurement. The result of this study show that the effectiveness of the process cycle of natural material procurement in the factory reached as much as 87,1% for the sand material and 72% for the crushed stone. This indicates that the process still carry activities with no added value and still contain ineffective costs. Through the Business Process Mechanism, these non value added activities can be managed so that the process cycle becomes more efficient and cost effectiveness is achieved. The result of the effective cycle calculation after the management activities implementation is 100%. This means that the cost of natural material procurement process has become effective. The result of calculation of the estimated cost reduction as a result of management activity is as much as Rp249.026.635,90 per year.

This paper discusses the challenges of records management that arise from the use of adapted buildings as records centres in Zimbabwe, despite the advantages of using such buildings. A qualitative research approach was used as well as a case study research design. Data were collected from seven officers of the Gweru Records Centre through semi-structured interviews. Personal observation was used to triangulate findings from interviews. It was found that the use of adapted buildings as records centres was a cheaper and quicker way of establishing records centres throughout the country. However, a number of preservation, security and management challenges cropped up as the conditions of the buildings and the environment of the adapted buildings were not conducive to the proper and professional management of records. This study is important in that it explores the prospects and challenges of using adapted buildings as records centres in Zimbabwe, an area that has not been researched by many authors. This provokes archival authorities and the government to seriously consider establishing purpose-built records and archival centres.
