Inductive Praxis and Management Research: Towards a Reflexive Framework
探讨了不同哲学假设如何影响归纳法的合法性，以扎根理论为例，提出了一个反思性框架，帮助研究者审视归纳管理研究中的选择，并倡导对定性研究采取更宽容的多元评价立场。
This paper examines how induction legitimately varies according to the impact of different knowledge constituting philosophical assumptions. As a result of its prevalence in qualitative management research, the paper focuses on grounded theory and uses this as a vehicle to explore the key parameters of the philosophical diversity articulated in judgements around neutrality, description and theorization. A reflexive framework of inductive praxis is offered as a heuristic device for interrogating the choices evidently at play in the variable constitution of inductive management research. We indicate how there are multiple modes of engagement, each of which is legitimate within its own philosophical commitments. This implies the need for a more tolerant pluralistic stance in the evaluation of qualitative management research.
