Outlining Delphi Design and Process
Good practices in the development of the first Delphi round were followed, based on Cottam (2012). This included: the questionnaire length; the ambiguity of the statements, the response format; and having a heterogeneous group of participants. Nevertheless, it is the correlation between the statements and the original research conceptual assumptions that is most important. The correlation is addressed by the following questions: (1) Are the statements applicable and relevant to the implications of maritime security initiatives on EU container port competition ? (2) Are the statements completed without requiring additional support to address the issues? (3) Are the statements understandable?
In order to ensure the success of the Delphi study , a pilot test was conducted before the formal survey was sent out. Polit et al. (2001) explained that a pilot study is a small-scale version or trial run when preparing for a major study. Pilot testing was argued by Powell (2003) as optional; nevertheless, its benefits such as testing instructions, clearness of the statements and formatting were stated by Creswell (2014). Further, a pilot survey could also save financial resources. Therefore, a pilot survey that contained an invitation email and round one questionnaire was sent to six current active senior academic experts in related fields who did not take part in the main study. In terms of this specific pilot survey, the following measures were conducted:The participants were asked for feedback to identify ambiguities and difficult questions.
