Developing Grounded Theory

Developing Grounded Theory: The Second Generation Revisited is a highly accessible description of the rapid development of grounded theories and the latest developments in grounded theory methods. A succinct overview of the development of grounded theory is provided including the similarities and differences between Glaserian and Straussian grounded theory. The method introduced by Schatzman and the development of Charmazâs constructivist grounded theory and Clarkeâs situational analysis are clearly presented. The book is divided into seven sections: each type of grounded theory is discussed by the developer (or their student) followed by a chapter describing a project that used that particular type of grounded theory. Bookending these chapters is the first chapter which describes the development and landscape of grounded theory and a final chapter describing the challenges to the future of grounded theory. This book is ideally suited for beginning students trying to come to grips with the field as well as more advanced researchers attempting to delineate the major types of grounded theory. .
