Software resources levels of analysis
The Bernard M. and Ruth R. Bass Center for Leadership Studies offers a software package that researchers (usually in psychology, social psychology, sociology, management, business, information systems and database design, economics, political science, and communication) use to decide whether individual-level data should be aggregated to the group level.
Unlike other packages, the user can consider any number of levels in one analysis. For example, in organizational studies the following six levels of analysis can be considered at one time: individual, work group, department, division, organization, and industry.
