“GABEK®-WINRELAN® was selected from a field of 158 original entries by an international panel of jurors to participate in EASA2002 Finals. The project was deemed by the jurors to be of exceptional quality.”
(European Software Academic Award 2002 – Organised by the European Knowledge Media Association, Ronneby, Sweden)
“Through GABEK® we can obtain a description of structures of a society and its values, whose inclusion can be seen as an essential precondition for the solution to problems.”
(Univ.-Prof. Dr. Julius Moravcsik, Stanford University, USA)
“The use of GABEK® tools has proved very useful in our research work. We were able to compare the method with other competing methods, but came to the conclusion that the GABEK® procedure provides detailed advantages.”
(Dr. Goetz Renner, DaimlerChrysler AG, Research and Technology, Germany)

“In my view GABEK®-WinRelan® is the most innovative instrument in the qualitative social sciences and knowledge organisation, which is used globally.”
(Dr. Paul Schober, Hafelekar Unternehmensberatung, Innsbruck, Austria)
‘GABEK® is an effective research methodology to use for marketing research. It facilitates the perception of respondents through their own eyes. It is therefore less biased. It enhances the presentation in such a way that the decision-maker can develop solutions based on the views of respondents – on a tactical, stratecig and design thinking level.
GABEC® can be used in an emancipatory manner because it allows for including all stakeholders of the problem situation. Furthermore, it is possible to encourage open communication since individuals can let their voices be heard – in a figurative sense – without being intimidated by the presence of other stakeholders. An example of GABEK® being used in conflict resolution is that of encouraging co-operation between stake-holders of South African labour relations system within Vaal Triangle, a highly industrialised region of South Africa. “
(Univ.-Prof. Dr. Andries de Wet & Dr. Anne-Marie Pothas & Univ.-Prof. Dr. Johannes Marthinus de Wet, Vanderbijlpark, South Africa)
‘GABEK® helps to find a solution to the complex societal problems allowing not only to classify and generalise perceptions of different persons on the issue, but also to trace, classify, generalise and visualise the causes leading to such perceptions.”
(Dr. Nana Sumbadze, Institute for Policy Studies, Tbilisi, Georgia)
“Thus have emerged from GABEK”®Analysis at our hospital reveals a number of follow-up projects, which in their entirety should sustainably improve the working atmosphere among the staff of our hospital.
(Dr. Martin Ogriseg, Hospital Brixen, South Tyrol, Italy)
“I found the software relatively easy to use, with some very clever tools to support the indexing/coding and analysis processes.”
(Ralph Godau: Qualitative Data Analysis Software: GABEK®-WinRelan®, in: Qualitative Research Journal, Australia,Vol. 3, No. 1, p.56,)
“The original data is always only a mouse click away. All gestures are very user-friendly, and most results of the diverse analyses can be imported to Winword. WinRelan can be used for feedback and presentation easily. It offers a high degree of ease in showing special results as well as moderating discussions. The proximity of the original data allows for the generation of credible and comprehensible illustrations of results. For example, it is highly supportive in the process of implementing change measures, because it only uses the respondents’ own arguments, ideas, interpretaions and so on.”
(Prof. Dr. Renate Buber, Vienna & Dr. Christian Kraler, Innsbruck, Austria)
“We made this contact with science because GABEK”®It's a fascinating way to shape the future of work.
(Fritz Dinkhauser, Chamber of Labour President, Innsbruck, Austria)
“The GABEK® method reveals latent patterns of thought as well as hidden knowledge, and not at least stimulates processes of social learning which in turn contributes to transparency. “
(Dr Hellmut Löckenhoff, Backnang, Germany)
GABEK® can be described as an extremely effective qualitative research instrument. . What was particularly pleasant about the computer-assisted evaluation by WinRelan was that it could be carried out economically in time, which is certainly important for even more extensive data sets than those of the present investigation. It also facilitates the creation of intercoder reliability. The user-friendly handling of the program and the associated graphics program offer satisfactory presentation possibilities, otherwise often a great shortcoming of methods of qualitative results preparation. In this way, the developed phenomena, impact relationships and processes can be made visible in a short time and also in front of a larger audience. ‘
(Dr Birgit Mumelter, Innsbruck, Austria)

“Interesting is the fact that it [the GABEK method] stimulates a dynamic process between people and does not lead to results that are constructions of a single person.”
(University Professor Dr Ilias Papagiannopoulos, philosopher, Piraeus, Greece)
