POSITIVISM VS GROUNDED THEORY
                                Dispute
       Positivism

DESCRIPTION
- Interpretive process by analyzing the actual production of
meanings and concepts used by social actors in real
settings
 - Refusing positivist notions of falsification and hypothesis
testing
- Theory emergence based on how well data fit conceptual
categories identified by an observer
- Whose relevant categories explain or predict ongoing
interpretations
      suited to efforts to understand the process by which actors
      construct meaning out of intersubjective experience
      not suited to make knowledge claims about an objective reality

MISCONCEPTIONS
              Myth
    #1        Grounded theory requires a researcher to enter the field
              without any knowledge of prior research:
               Blank mind (i.e., without knowledge of the literature
 Grounded     and absent prior experience),
 Theory Is     Blank agenda (i.e., without a defined research
              question).
     Not       Researcher must defer reading existing theory until the
              data are collected and analyzed
 an Excuse
 to Ignore
                      Totally unstructured research produces totally
     the              unstructured manuscripts

MISCONCEPTIONS
              Best Practices
    #1        Grounded theory is linked to substantive theory
              (particular limited domain of inquiry) and should be
              started by substantive one:
 Grounded      giving initial direction in developing relevant categories
              and properties and in choosing possible modes of
 Theory Is    integration
     Not      How to avoid researcher’s perspective contamination?
 an Excuse     to avoid research that adheres too closely to a single
              substantive area ( -> several)
 to Ignore     to be continuously aware of the possibility that you are
     the      being influenced by preexisting conceptualizations of
              your subject area.
 Literature    to try not to overextend the objective of grounded
              theory research

MISCONCEPTIONS
               Common Mistakes
    #2         Producing obvious and trite output

                Confusion between grounded theory and
               phenomenology (rich in raw form data, focusing on the
 Grounded      relationship between the language used and the objects
 Theory Is     to which language relates, interviews as sole form of
               data collection.)
    Not         Staying at the phenomenology stage, failing to analyze
Presentation   the data (constant interplay between data collection and
               analysis that constitutes the constant comparative
  of Raw       method)
   Data         Having stopped collecting data too early (category
               saturation process)

MISCONCEPTIONS
               Common Mistakes
    #3
                Testing hypothesis
                Using interpretive methods to analyze “realist”
 Grounded      assumptions
 Theory Is      The mode of presentation may also create the
               unfortunate impression that grounded theory methods
    Not        can be mixed with a positivist research agenda
  Theory
                    Grounded theory is not to make truth statements
  Testing,     about reality, but, rather, to elicit fresh understandings
  Content      about patterned relationships between social actors and
Analysis, or   how these relationships and interactions actively
               construct reality

 Grounded
 Theory Is      Grounded theory is best used when no explicit
               hypothesis exist to be tested
    Not         To proceed to a constant testing tentative ideas and
  Theory       conceptual structures against ongoing observations
                To avoid with a positivist research agenda, the process

MISCONCEPTIONS
              Common Mistakes


   #5
               Grounded theory was designed as a method that might
 Grounded     occupy a pragmatic middle ground between some
              slippery epistemological boundaries and require
 Theory Is    researchers to develop a tacit knowledge (practitioners
Not Perfect   have to know terrain well)

MISCONCEPTIONS
              Best practices


   #5         Abduction (the process of forming an explanatory
              hypothesis as the only logical operation which introduces
 Grounded     any new idea) is required to conduct research and has
              become incorporated into grounded theory as “analytic
 Theory Is    induction”, the process by which a researcher moves
Not Perfect   between induction and deduction while practicing the
              constant comparative method

MISCONCEPTIONS
             Recommandations


   #6        Grounded theory requires:
              intuitive skills or pattern-perceiving abilities
              considerable exposure to the empirical context
 Grounded     researchers to engage in ongoing self-reflection to
             ensure that they take personal biases, world-views, and
 Theory Is   assumptions into account while collecting, interpreting,
   Easy      and analyzing data
              extensive and ongoing commitment to a line of
             theoretical research and an empirical site

  • 2. ‘’Une marque est plus qu'un nom ou un logo - c'est une promesse et un contrat avec chaque client avec qui vous avez affaire. Et si les gens estime Richard Branson SUDDABY, ROY Professor of Business: University of Alberta Director-Canadian Centre of Corporate Sustainability and Social Entrepreneurship Associate Editor-Academy of Management Review Adjunct Professor: Department of Sociology Visiting Professor: Uppsala University Visiting Professor: University of Sydney What Grounded Theory is Not Suddaby, Roy 2
  • 3. ‘’Une marque est plus qu'un nom ou un logo - c'est une promesse et un contrat avec chaque client avec qui vous avez affaire. Et si les gens estime Richard Branson ISSUE « Overly generic use of the term “grounded theory” and confusion regarding alternative epistemological approaches to qualitative research » What Grounded Theory is Not Suddaby, Roy 3
  • 4. POSITIVISM VS GROUNDED THEORY Dispute Positivism Auguste Comte (19th century) Glaser and Strauss(1967) Scientific truth results from both the act of observation and the emerging Scientific truth consensus within a reflects community of observers as an independent they make sense of what they have observed external reality Charles Saunders Peirce (1839–1914) George Herbert Mead (1863–1931) Charles Cooley (1864–1929) What Grounded Theory is Not Suddaby, Roy 4
  • 5. DESCRIPTION - Interpretive process by analyzing the actual production of meanings and concepts used by social actors in real settings - Refusing positivist notions of falsification and hypothesis testing - Theory emergence based on how well data fit conceptual categories identified by an observer - Whose relevant categories explain or predict ongoing interpretations suited to efforts to understand the process by which actors construct meaning out of intersubjective experience not suited to make knowledge claims about an objective reality What Grounded Theory is Not Suddaby, Roy 5
  • 6. COMPROMISING THEORY Reality driven Constant data Theoretical comparison Sampling and analysis COMPLETE RELATIVISM Hypothesis driven What Grounded Theory is Not Suddaby, Roy 6
  • 7. MISCONCEPTIONS Myth #1 Grounded theory requires a researcher to enter the field without any knowledge of prior research:  Blank mind (i.e., without knowledge of the literature Grounded and absent prior experience), Theory Is  Blank agenda (i.e., without a defined research question). Not  Researcher must defer reading existing theory until the data are collected and analyzed an Excuse to Ignore Totally unstructured research produces totally the unstructured manuscripts Literature What Grounded Theory is Not Suddaby, Roy 7
  • 8. MISCONCEPTIONS Best Practices #1 Grounded theory is linked to substantive theory (particular limited domain of inquiry) and should be started by substantive one: Grounded  giving initial direction in developing relevant categories and properties and in choosing possible modes of Theory Is integration Not How to avoid researcher’s perspective contamination? an Excuse  to avoid research that adheres too closely to a single substantive area ( -> several) to Ignore  to be continuously aware of the possibility that you are the being influenced by preexisting conceptualizations of your subject area. Literature  to try not to overextend the objective of grounded theory research What Grounded Theory is Not Suddaby, Roy 8
  • 9. MISCONCEPTIONS Common Mistakes #2 Producing obvious and trite output  Confusion between grounded theory and phenomenology (rich in raw form data, focusing on the Grounded relationship between the language used and the objects Theory Is to which language relates, interviews as sole form of data collection.) Not  Staying at the phenomenology stage, failing to analyze Presentation the data (constant interplay between data collection and analysis that constitutes the constant comparative of Raw method) Data  Having stopped collecting data too early (category saturation process) What Grounded Theory is Not Suddaby, Roy 9
  • 10. MISCONCEPTIONS Common Mistakes #3  Testing hypothesis  Using interpretive methods to analyze “realist” Grounded assumptions Theory Is  The mode of presentation may also create the unfortunate impression that grounded theory methods Not can be mixed with a positivist research agenda Theory Grounded theory is not to make truth statements Testing, about reality, but, rather, to elicit fresh understandings Content about patterned relationships between social actors and Analysis, or how these relationships and interactions actively construct reality Word Counts What Grounded Theory is Not Suddaby, Roy 10
  • 11. MISCONCEPTIONS Best practices #3 Grounded Theory Is  Grounded theory is best used when no explicit hypothesis exist to be tested Not  To proceed to a constant testing tentative ideas and Theory conceptual structures against ongoing observations  To avoid with a positivist research agenda, the process Testing, of data analysis - including coding techniques and Content category creation Analysis, or Word Counts What Grounded Theory is Not Suddaby, Roy 11
  • 12. MISCONCEPTIONS Common Mistakes #4 Grounded Theory Is Qualitative software programs can be useful in Not Simply organizing and coding data, but they are no substitute for the interpretation of data (which Routine categories to focus on, where to collect the next Application iteration of data and, the meaning to be ascribed to units of data) of Formulaic Technique to Data What Grounded Theory is Not Suddaby, Roy 12
  • 13. MISCONCEPTIONS Common Mistakes #5 Grounded theory was designed as a method that might Grounded occupy a pragmatic middle ground between some slippery epistemological boundaries and require Theory Is researchers to develop a tacit knowledge (practitioners Not Perfect have to know terrain well) What Grounded Theory is Not Suddaby, Roy 13
  • 14. MISCONCEPTIONS Best practices #5 Abduction (the process of forming an explanatory hypothesis as the only logical operation which introduces Grounded any new idea) is required to conduct research and has become incorporated into grounded theory as “analytic Theory Is induction”, the process by which a researcher moves Not Perfect between induction and deduction while practicing the constant comparative method What Grounded Theory is Not Suddaby, Roy 14
  • 15. MISCONCEPTIONS Recommandations #6 Grounded theory requires:  intuitive skills or pattern-perceiving abilities  considerable exposure to the empirical context Grounded  researchers to engage in ongoing self-reflection to ensure that they take personal biases, world-views, and Theory Is assumptions into account while collecting, interpreting, Easy and analyzing data  extensive and ongoing commitment to a line of theoretical research and an empirical site What Grounded Theory is Not Suddaby, Roy 15
