Grounded Theory is by far the most widely used research method across a wide range of disciplines and subject areas, including social sciences, nursing and healthcare, medical sociology, information systems, psychology, and anthropology. This handbook gives a comprehensive overview of the theory and practice of Grounded Theory, taking into account the many attempts to revise and refine Glaser and Strauss' original formulation and the debates that have followed.
Antony Bryant & Kathy Charmaz bring together leading researchers and practitioners of the method from the US, the UK, Australia and Europe to represent all the major standpoints within Grounded Theory, demonstrating the richness of the approach. The contributions cover a wide range of perspectives on the method, covering its features and ramifications, its intricacies in use, its demands on the skills and capabilities of the researcher and its position in the domain of research methods.
The SAGE Handbook of Grounded Theory is an indispensable reference source for academics and researchers across many disciplines who want to develop their understanding of the Grounded Theory method.
This text is comprehensive in scope, gathering together the perspectives of many contemporary proponents of GT methodology. However, some esoteric elements are present, and for the novice GT researcher, it would need to be read in conjunction with an introductory text.
A jewel with a multitude of authors giving both practical advice and discussing the challenges of GT. Well suited for advanced students working on their postgraduate degrees.
this book is excellent for grounded theory in both sides practical and theoretical
A comprehensive collection of texts for courses that focus on advanced Grounded Theory methodology.
This book brings together many contemporary researchers who are experienced in using grounded theory. For someone new to grounded theory, it introduces key issues and debates, although it is probably more easily accessible to those who have already used grounded theory.
This is a very detailed, thought-provoking range of essays on grounded theory. It has a wide scope and demonstrates an understanding of the historical roots of grounded theory and its modern applications.
I used this book last year for my methods class for master's students. It was a bit too advanced for many of my students so I am going to use a less advanced text next time.
An excellent book which addresses very well many of the current debates surrounding Grounded Theory.
The book is informative and well written - students undertaking Grounded Theory studies will find this text helps to demystify many areas related to Grounded Theory.
Excellent text - covering a key range of issues.
The Handbook of Grounded Theory is very thorough and provides a comprehensive and broad overview by many of the leading proponents. Theoretical variations of different authors are covered in depth, and it also addresses the practical side and grapples with how to implement the various coding strategies and memoing etc. It will certainly be of use at Masters, Doctoral and for lecturers also, in conjuction with the practical guide.
