| Abstract: | In a series of hard-fought and lonely empirical battles, organizational process researchers have started to fortify a position in the no-researcher's land between inductive theory generation and deductive theory verification. This new position suggests that Glaser and Strauss's (1967) influential descriptions of grounded theory are becoming outdated as a representation of what organizational process researchers do. This article describes the research methods of a forthcoming analysis of strategic change processes in loosely coupled systems, as a way to explore some of the characteristics and challenges of iterative grounded theory. |
