What is Grounded Theory? by Massimiliano Tarozzi

What is Grounded Theory? provides a compelling account of an approach that has come to be one of the most widely used qualitative research methods across a wide range of subject areas and in the disciplines of nursing, health sciences, computer science, marketing, social psychology and education, among others.
Drawing on two decades of research practice and teaching, Tarozzi explains what Grounded Theory (GT) is, exploring its historical context, the many and sometimes antithetical approaches that have emerged of it and the epistemological implications of its application to different disciplines. With chapter summaries, further reading lists and a wealth of practical examples, the author shows how to do GT, accompanying the reader through the various phases of the research project.
Using GT in research is an adventurous journey: one can only understand what GT is by doing it.

Tarozzi's encyclopedic knowledge of grounded theory makes this a great book for both methodologists interested in studying the evolution of this approach as well as for students interested in reading a clear description of one way to conduct studies using grounded theoryBy showing how he analyzed the data in his own study of how families manage children's television watching, Tarozzi shows the elegant complexities of using grounded theory to systematically analyze data and build theory from the ground up. * Karin Olson, Professor and Interim Coordinator, International Institute for Qualitative Methodology, University of Alberta, Canada *
Gives a brief and very personal introduction to Grounded Theory which makes it a very valuable resource for the novice students interested in using Grounded Theory for their own research. * Uwe Flick, Professor, Professor of Qualitative Research, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany *
