Grounded Theory Methodology in Information Systems Research

Grounded theory methodology (GTM), with its espoused goal of theory development of novel phenomena, has found broad application in Information Systems (IS) research. To investigate how GTM is applied in IS research and how the research contributions are contingent on those applications, we review 43 GTM-based articles in major IS and related journals. Ten of the articles develop theory. The oth...

Grounded theory methodology for knowledge engineering

Grounded theory methods of inductive qualitative field research have been tried and tested in the social sciences with their strong commitment to empirical techniques. They can be used in knowledge engineering for grounding systems on empirical evidence wherever the domain experts’ natural way of thinking is qualitative. After an introductory explanation of grounded theory development we go thr...
