What Grounded Theory Is...A Critically Reflective Conversation Among Scholars
通过多位资深扎根理论学者的反思对话，探讨该方法的完整范围与潜力，旨在突破其作为单一定性方法的局限，激发研究者的创造力与理论创新。
Grounded theory (GT) is taught in many doctoral schools across the world and exemplified in most methodological books and publications in top-tier journals as a qualitative research method. This limited view of GT does not allow full use of possible resources and restrains researchers’ creativity and capabilities. Thus, it blocks some innovative possibilities and the emergence of valuable theories, which are badly needed. Therefore, understanding the full reach and scope of GT is becoming urgent, and we brought together a panel of established grounded theory scholars to help us in this endeavor through a reflective conversation.
