Chapter 4: Results and Analysis
4.1 Introduction
In this chapter, data collected on the barriers and benefits by the research methodology described in chapter 3 is presented in such a way to straightforwardly inform the reader in terms of the organization and content. Largely, this analysis concentrates on the relationship between the last three objectives, data, the research methodology including the three stages of triangulation namely convergent interviews, individual case-interviews and focus group interviews. The researcher used tabulations and charts to express the data in order to facilitate proper understanding and analysis of the data.
4.2 Data Analysis of Stage I of Triangulation
4.2.1 Results and Analysis of Convergent Interviews
The Convergent Interview of the qualitative data collection provided 18 sets of categories of barriers that the members of the regulatory, enforcement and business (fishery businesses) areas perceived as obstacles to the compliance with international HACCP regulation. The 18 sets of categories of barriers were developed from 22 suggested themes of which four were rejected due to lack of sufficient supports perceived from the other interviewees, Table 22, Matrix of Responses to Convergent Interview (Carson and Gilmore, 2001) modified by the author, below and Tables 23, 24 and 25 keys for Table 22, developed by the author, below.

There were 22 interviewees and as the interviewer moved from interviewees 1 to 6 two different themes were suggested by each interviewee except interviewee 3 who suggested three different themes and interviewee 4 who suggested only one theme. As the interviewer moved to interviewees 7 to 16 each of the interviewee suggested only 1 theme. In fact, as the interviewer moved to interviewees 17 to 22 no new theme was suggested. At the same time, the interviewees were able to develop and refined definitions for themes suggested. Table 31 below (General Unit of Analysis) and Table 21 page 122 (Unit of Analysis for Convergent Interview), provide more information on the regulatory, enforcement and business that participated in convergent interview.
