Content Analysis is a research method involving the gathering of data capturing one or more variables descriptive of the content of a cultural expression such as movies or advertisements. Doing content analysis a researcher may analyze stories of sexual assault to determine how blame is allocated in such stories. Doing content analysis a researcher may examine magazines such as Time, or Maclean's to see which sex or race or racial group is typically depicted or to observe differences in the depiction of men and women. The epistemological roots of content analysis lie in legal realism. We should recognize that content analysis does not occupy the same epistemological ground as conventional legal scholarship.
Researchers in the field of knowledge economy or intellectual capital need to be able to justify the specific research methods they use to collect the empirical evidence that they examine to support and test opinions regarding the merit of different approaches to managing and reporting intellectual capital. Of the various methods available to researchers seeking to understand intellectual capital reporting, content analysis is the most popular.
