Using Grounded Theory with Technology Cases: Distilling Critical Theory from a Multinational Information Systems Development Project

Abstract

Research into international information systems (IIS) is still a minority area in IS research and there is very little of use as a theoretical framework for researching them. Qualitative, theory building research is needed and grounded theory methods would be the most appropriate. However, grounded theory is a homocentric research method and IIS cases are a hybrid of human, social/organisational and technological case elements. To overcome this discrepancy, an amalgamation of Case study and Grounded Theory methods (CGT) is suggested and demonstrated on the case of a multinational IIS development project.
