Rediscovering Grounded Theory is a bold re-evaluation of the origins of grounded theory, a philosophical clarification of its key ideas and a presentation of the most effective way to use its techniques in your research. It answers questions such as ‘What should grounded theory look like?’, ‘How do I recognise grounded theory?’ and ‘How do I produce good grounded theory?’ by returning to the original ideas as they were presented by Glaser and Strauss. Sharp, clear and thought-provoking, the book includes: - Detailed analysis of the current literature - Exemplar sections filled with detailed, real world examples and applications - A detailed glossary It will provide you with a grasp of what a grounded theory should look like, take you through the process of building a grounded theory and then explain best practice for critically evaluating the quality of grounded theory research.
Thinking Theoretically and Writing Memos in Grounded Theory
Thinking Theoretically and Writing Memos in Grounded Theory
Aim: To explore when to and how to write theoretical memos in grounded theory
Learning outcomes
After reading this chapter you should be able to:
- know when to memo in your grounded theory
- know what to memo your grounded theory
- know how to develop memos for grounded theory
- evaluate how to memo in grounded theory
As we have seen from our earlier chapters (see Chapters 8 and 9), one of the key operations associated with doing grounded theory is writing theoretical memos. It is here that we return to grounded theory as another version of the constant comparative method (Chapter 1). Within Discovery (Glaser and Strauss 1967), memo writing appears as perhaps the central operation in doing grounded theory. In fact, if you ...
