Some researchers work on concepts.
Some gets patents and some not.
Some can not go other design and engineering stages such as preliminary design, prefeasibility stage, feasibility stage, basic design and detail design.
Identification of Concepts or Identification of Concept (IOC) is very important.
In that very early design stages of an idea, the concepts are defined and identified to follow a correct research and design path.
What types of qualitative and quantitative research methods are used and can be used for the Identification of Concepts (IOC)?
For instance IOC of a vessel, IOC of a ship, IOC of a airplane, IOC of a power plant etc.
How often IOC studies are performed?
Who usually conduct that IOC studies?
Are there any definition differences in IOC (Identification of Concepts or Identification of Concept)
To study IOCs, if there is no preliminary work in the specified area, starting with Interpretive Phenomenological Analyses (IPA) could be a great start. It is an indepth qualitative research method which can be ideal if you are the one who will start a specialized project from scratch. In this methodology you spend time with people and focus on their lived experiences. In studies with high judgement impact could be a great starting point.
Dear Burak,
Yes, these are some of the best and most visible sources to learn and apply IPA. Each qualitative and study has its own unique exploratory journey, I hope you will have a fun one.
Best wishes,
Gulnaz
