- Abstract
The aim of this study is to verify how and for what purposes the researches in Management published in Brazilian journals between 2011 and 2015 used the focus group as data collection method. Thus, a systematic literature review was performed and 44 scientific papers that met the pre-established criteria were selected. The analysis of the papers aimed to identify: the field of research, the topic on which the study was developed, methodological issues, especially in relation to the way the focus group method was used, among other issues. As results, it was observed that the focus group method has been used as a single data collection method, or also combined to other data collection methods, both qualitative and quantitative. In addition, it was found that the focus group method has been used for research in different areas, most frequently in Public Administration. It was also observed that most of the research that used the focus group method used it to identify points of view on the studied subject or used it to understand the studied phenomenon. One issue in the analyzed papers is that half of them present insufficient methodological information about the method that was used. That way, scientific check is not always possible, both in relation to the use of the method and in relation to the results achieved.
