AB  - Describes how microcomputer technology for processing textual data
offers new options for the qualitative researcher in educational
administration. Both the potential benefits and the limitations of such
computer‐assisted procedures are identified. The discussion is
illuminated by examples drawn from a study specific to local educational
governance in the USA. Although addressing the composite qualities of
the genre of microcomputer software known as “text analysis
programs”, the particular product featured in the examples is The
ETHNOGRAPH – widely regarded as one of the most sophisticated, yet
user‐friendly programs for qualitative data analysis currently available
for personal computers.
