strategy towards mining. Different outcomes also followed with Antioquia experiencing higher levels of community dissatisfaction with their approach. These differences
were made for interesting sites for research in order to better understand the links
between entrepreneurship, sustainable development and wellbeing.
13.3.2 Data Collection
Using case studies as the basic methodological approach, the analysis used a literature review, document analysis (policy analysis), stakeholder analysis, face to face
semi-structured interviews, group interviews, observations and field notes. Field
interviewing was conducted in Risaralda, Antioquia and the capital city of Bogota.
Interviews and focus group interviews with key stakeholders at the national, state
and local levels were applied to map, explore and evaluate the roles of these stakeholders in existing approaches to community wellbeing.
All interviews were fully transcribed and resulted in an interview sample of 48
representatives from the private sector, government and civil society, drawn from
both case study areas and Bogota city where state organisations are located. The
participants were chosen as representatives of their organisation or agency. The
highest proportion of participants comes from civil society and community organisations and NGOs. Twelve community members and ten representatives from civil
society organisations were interviewed. This number is followed by representatives
from government organisations. Top level government officers were interviewed
representing twelve participants. Nine company executives and private sector senior
representatives were also interviewed.
In addition to group and individual interviewing, observations and field notes
also constitute key methodological techniques for data collection procedures.
Observations helped support some of the researchers’ perceptions during interviews. Similarly, field notes were recorded, particularly when spontaneous events
that related to the argument that drive this paper happened in the Risaralda and
Antioquia case study areas.
13.3.3 Data Analysis
Our qualitative case study research sought to inductively build new theory concerning
the links between community development, entrepreneurship and wellbeing. Theory
building is an appropriate objective as even though each of the three main constructs
(sustainable community development, entrepreneurship and wellbeing) has an extensive literature behind it, there is little known about how they intersect when consciously brought together. Case studies are needed to tease out these interactive links.
As such, our data analysis followed procedures for inductive theory building
from cases as prescribed by Braun and Clarke’s (2006) thematic analysis, Eisenhardt
