Qualitative Research - Interpretive Structural Modelling

Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) is a well- established methodology for identifying relationships among different variables that define a common research problem. It transforms the complex mental models into well defined and well structured models that are clear and hence easy to interpret. The method also imposes order and direction to the variables and can thus provide a base for further research based on relationships like Structural Equation Modelling and Analytical Network Process. By the end of this course, students will be in a position to prepare their own research paper using ISM.
