technisch  alles  umgehend  möglich  ist,  oder  er  leitet  aus
seinen  Erfahrungen  ab,  wo  Schwierigkeiten  zu  erwarten  sind,
und  versucht  diese  zu  umgehen.  In  beiden  Fällen  wird  der
DV-Experte  daher  unvollständig  informiert  werden.  Hinzu
kommt,  daß  die  Statusproblematik  und  Konkurrenzorientierung
generell  eine  Aussage  wie  'das  verstehe  ich  nicht'  sehr
erschweren.  In  der  Untersuchung  von  Platt  wird  dieses
Problem  direkt  angesprochen.  Ihre  Gesprächspartner  aus  den
sozialwissenschaftlichen  Projekten  teilen  ihr  mit:
"...  sometimes  it  was  a  continuous  battle:  you  get  a  problem
that  can  be  handled  by  hand  in  ten  hours  or  by  the  machine
in  half  an  hour  if  only  the  program  works.  Stuart  was  always
inclined  to  say  the  program  will  work  and  invest  two,  ten  or
twenty  hours  in  getting  it  to  work  ...
Und:  "The  tragedy  about  it  is,  that  I'm  sure  in  computer
programming  terms  what  Terry  did  was  absolutely  masterly,
particularly  with  that  kind  of  support  in  that  kind  of
installation,  but  the  simple  fact  was  it  just  didn't  suit
our  particular  needs,  and  all  his  energies  were  tied  up  in
that  so  often  in  other  things  we  were  on  short."  (J.  Platt,
a.a.O.,  S.  90)
Nicht  nur  für  Platt  selbst,  sondern  auch  für  die  Beteiligten
ist  klar,  wo  die  Ursache  des  Problems  zu  suchen  ist:
"The  irony  of  the  situation  is  that  in  both  these  cases  the
computer  specialists  themselves  saw  that  something  had  gone
wrong,  and  explained  that  one  of  the  reasons  why  they  had
developed  such  elaborate  programs  was  precisely  because  of
the  division  of  labour.  It  seemed  necessary  to  have  very
detailed  labelling  of  the  data  because  other  members  of  the
team  were  not  going  to  have  the  same  intimate  familiarity
with  the  program,  and  might  not  understand  what  was  going  on
without  it.  In  fact,  in  each  of  these  cases  when  it  came  to
the  real  analysis  some  of  the  programming  had  to  be  redone
so  that  the  output  was  effectively  usable."  (J.  Platt,
a.a.O.,  S.  92)
Das  empirische  Forschungsprojekt  ist  nur  generell  planbar,
seine  Durchführung  aus  vielen  Gründen  kein  linearer  Prozeß.
Die  Anwendung  der  ADV  dagegen  setzt  prinzipiell  eine  genaue
Problem-  und  Bedürfnisanalyse  voraus,  um  dann  zu  einer
formalen  Beschreibung  der  Problemlösung  zu  kommen.  Ergebnis
