This paper critically evaluates the Delphi Technique as a qualitative research tool and its application in an unexplored topic. The aim to select the Delphi Technique as a research tool is because of its limited use in Indian research methodologies. Researchers aimed to explore this technique and critically evaluate it because of its accuracy of getting results for the desired problems. In order to critically evaluate, assess and implement Delphi technique, researchers had undertaken an experimental study in 2010 during the outbreak of Swine Flu in India. Study was conducted in Gujarat, a coastal state situated in western India. The paper states that Delphi method recognizes human judgment as a legitimate and useful input in generating forecasts and therefore highlights that the use of experts, carefully selected, can lead to reliable and valid results. In addition, the research paper tries to overcome the weaknesses implicit in other methods such as relying on a single expert, a group average, or a round table discussion. This study will help future researchers apply the qualitative research tools in practical life and understand how useful and feasible they are in solving the issues. By using this technique, researchers could get valuable insights on what actually is the process of acquiring the license for swine flu medications and business implications for companies engaged in manufacturing of these medicines.
