Employees’ lack of participation in electronic knowledge sharing (EKS) is a subject that has been attracted to both practitioners and academicians in the field of organization and information technology (IT). The organizations employ IT tools for knowledge sharing with the purpose to manage employees’ knowledge especially when they are geographically dispersed. However, the number of employees ...

Grounded theory has emerged as a promising research approach for generating theory in emerging and relevant domains of IS research. In this paper we advance the use of grounded theory in one important and under-researched IS domain, business process management, which is characterized by an abundance of conceptual work with very little thorough theory development. We provide an illustrative case...

Organizations need knowledge sharing. However, although many factors influencing the amount of knowledge sharing have been found, the ways in which useful knowledge sharing is initiated and realized is left underexplored. This paper describes ethnographic studies on the realization of the content of knowledge sharing in two industrial research groups. Analyses in line with the grounded theory a...

While grounded theory methodology was intended to be used as a general research method accepting any type of data, most grounded theory studies in the literature refer to research based on qualitative data. This paper aims to address this perceived neglect by describing our experiences and our approach while using grounded theory across qualitative and quantitative research paradigms. The case-...

In the first article in this series (McCann and Clark 2003), the methodological characteristics of grounded theory were examined. In this, the second article on grounded theory, Terence McCann and Eileen Clark critique the methodology. They then summarise the main differences between Glaser's approach and Strauss and Corbin's approach to grounded theory.

The paper offers a secondary analysis from a grounded theory doctoral study that reconsiders its “grounded systemic design” (Mitchell, 2005, 2007).
