Introduction Since its formal introduction by Glaser and Strauss (1967) in their landmark text, The Discovery of Grounded Theory (1967), the use of GTM (grounded theory methodology), has continued to gain momentum across a wide range of disciplines and practice settings including education, health care, nursing, sociology, anthropology, management, information systems and psychology. In the yea...

The epistemological underpinnings of grounded theory make it valuable in the study of nursing, which is premised on an interpersonal process between nurses and clients. Further, it is a useful style of research when there is little prior information about a topic. In this article (Part 1), Terence McCann and Eileen Clark outline the key features of this methodology. In the follow-up article (Pa...

Choosing an appropriate research strategy is difficult. It requires a deep and honest reflection of one’s own beliefs. It requires commitment to the relationship between the philosophical trinity, the research paradigm, and the research methodology or methodologies. The philosophical trinity answers the questions ‘What exists?’, ‘How do I know?’, and ‘What is valuable? This paper argues that th...

Much of the research published in the property discipline consists of work utilising quantitative methods. While research gained using quantitative methods, if appropriately designed and rigorous, leads to results which are typically generalisable and quantifiable, it does not allow for a rich and in-depth understanding of a phenomenon. This is especially so if a researcher’s aim is to uncover ...

Based on a recently completed major study of an emerging business practice in the area of information systems management, this paper explains and discusses several important aspects of using the “Glaserian” approach to grounded theory. Grounded theory is an effective approach to produce rigorous research that is simultaneously relevant to business and management theory development and to profes...

The development of sociological approach to the study of translation makes it possible for the researchers to adopt different methodology to develop new theoretical formulations and concepts. These formulations are arrived at through the interaction with those being studied through the interpretation of real social world and meanings of the participants involved in the translation/social event....

There is an ongoing debate regarding the nature of grounded theory, and an examination of many studies claiming to follow grounded theory indicates a wide range of approaches. In 1967 Glaser and Strauss's ''The Discovery of Grounded Theory; Strategies for Qualitative Research'' was published and represented a breakthrough in qualitative research ; it offered methodological consensus and systema...
