Visual communication: a methodology for measuring management intention and shopfloor acknowledged meaning

“…This was consistent with sample sizes used by recent authors of the Repertory Grid Analysis technique (Bauman 2015). It was consistent with the range of three to sixteen mentioned by Pike & Kotsi (2016) and Smith et al (1997) …”

“…Repertory Grid Analysis, although originally developed for application to individuals, has also been applied to groups (Bauman 2015, Alexander et al 2010. This requires the identification of suitable methods to take the various responses from individuals and to categorise and group them to 69 identify their similarities.…”

“…Fransella & Bannister (1977) describe a number of these different approaches but state that the way in which Repertory Grid Analysis can be used is limited only by the imagination. There are three core features of the Repertory Grid Analysis technique that are common and remain constant irrespective of any modifications (Bauman 2015, Winter 2013. These are Elements, Constructs and Evaluation, shown below in Elements -these are a set of items (people or objects) that are to be evaluated.…”

“…However, despite this there remain always three core features; elements, constructs and evaluation (Bauman 2015, Winter 2013. I have used these features to structure the next part of this discussion.…”

“…To access the intended meaning behind a range of shop-floor visual communication, a research design has been used based on the Repertory Grid Analysis method (Bauman 2015, Winter 2013, Partington 2002, Fransella & Bannister 1977. This comprised a range of methods, a number of which were necessary to fulfill the first objective of this research, i.e.…”
