Description
Grounded theory is a research method with a systematic approach for data collection, synthesis, analysis, interpretation and conceptualisation of qualitative data for theory development. In recent times, the grounded theory method (GTM) is used regularly in management research but, often misunderstood. There are also challenges with the practical application of the GTM in qualitative research. This seminar aims to explore and capture the practical application of GTM in management research.
The seminar will focus on the origins of GTM, outline the different variants, emphasising their strengths and weaknesses for the justification/selection of appropriate variant for research. The main characteristics and shared core procedures associated with the GTM would be explored. Further, the Corbin and Strauss version and the second generation approaches will be used for the practical illustration of research design, data collection, data analysis, and presentation of results in management research.
