In the current context of scientific information overload, we propose a method combining
bibliometrics and grounded theory to conduct literature reviews that have a descriptive …

Grounded theory methodology (GTM), with its espoused goal of theory development of novel
phenomena, has found broad application in Information Systems (IS) research. To …

This paper offers guidance to conducting a rigorous literature review. We present this in the
form of a five-stage process in which we use Grounded Theory as a method. We first probe …

The use of grounded theory method (GTM) as a research method in information systems (IS)
has gradually increased over the years as qualitative research in general has become more …

Although the advantages of case study design are widely recognised, its original positivist
underlying assumptions may mislead interpretive researchers aiming at theory building. The …

Packaged software applications such as enterprise systems are designed to support generic
rather than specific requirements, and hence are likely to be an imperfect fit in any particular …

Early on, qualitative researchers predicted that metasynthesis research had the potential to
significantly push knowledge development forward. More recently, scholars have …

This article introduces this special issue by exploring the nature and diversity of the
Grounded Theory Method (GTM) and the opportunities associated with its use in Information …

In this chapter, we consider two research frameworks: conceptual and theoretical. The
chapter complements and questions the existing conversations around the theoretical and …

This chapter examines the diffusion and adaptation of grounded theory method (GTM) in the
academic discipline of information systems (IS), a relatively recent, evolving field. It also …
