Over the past decade, there has been increasing interest in the use of grounded theory in information systems research. Grounded theory is a qualitative research method that seeks to develop theory that is grounded in data systematically gathered and analysed. The purpose of this paper is to suggest guidelines for grounded theory studies in information systems. Our guidelines are based on a fra...

This paper provides suggestions of doing a grounded theory business research. The main intention is to provide guidelines and suggestions for novice researchers, students and their supervisors in conducting a grounded theory business research. The main discussion of this paper will focus on the principles driving a grounded theory research, the choice between the two versions of grounded theory...

the present study has dealt with studying the coaching model in training of human resource based on grounded theory. this study has done on qualitative bases and has utilized grounded theory approach besides semi-structured interviews for data collecting. in this study, interview was conducted, by using purposive and chain sampling, 7 training experts who were familiar with coaching. this quali...

This paper challenges the view that Grounded Theory is an unacceptable methodology for IS research lacking rigor and robustness. A demonstration is given of the systematic and rigorous use of the grounded theory data analysis techniques in researching the use of commercial IT components for developing and maintaining business IS. The data analysis processes of coding, conceptualizing and catego...

Dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) movement from Australian sugarcane farms is believed to be a major cause of crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks which have reduced the Great Barrier Reef coral cover by ~21% (1985-2012). We develop a daily model of DIN concentration in runoff based on >200 field monitored runoff events. Runoff DIN concentrations were related to nitrogen fertiliser application r...

The paper describes a study that investigated two models that were generated from the same process data by two different researchers. One of the models was generated by a psychologist inexperienced in process modelling. This model was developed based on the psychologist’s data analysis using grounded theory procedures. The second model was generated by an experienced process engineer using an a...
