Scaling up Grounded Theory: Problems, Implications and Options for Qualitative Researchers
Abstract
The purpose of the grounded theory method is to develop a theory. While some grounded theories generated through the method have limited application because they tend to be grounded in the data of a single substantive area, if a substantive grounded theory is scaled up, it can be applied to more areas besides the substantive area from which it is derived. Therefore this paper outlines the options in scaling up a substantive grounded theory study.
