The Discovery Of Grounded Theory by Barney G. Glaser

Strategies for Qualitative Research

This seminal work introduces the concept of grounded theory, a systematic methodology in the social sciences involving the construction of theories through methodical gathering and analysis of data. It emphasizes the importance of generating theories that are grounded in empirical research rather than relying solely on existing theoretical frameworks. The book outlines a rigorous process for qualitative research, advocating for a flexible approach that allows for the emergence of new insights and patterns from the data itself, thus enabling researchers to develop theories that are closely aligned with the realities of the subjects being studied.
