This expanded second edition:

- adds two new chapters that guide you through conducting and analysing interviews in grounded theory
- adds a new chapter on symbolic interactionism and grounded theory
- considers recent epistemological debates about the place of prior theory

This is a seminal title for anyone serious about understanding and doing grounded theory research.
Excellent text for students wishing to gain greater understanding of GT, however, with L5 students qualitative methodologies are only just being introduced.
Provides astounding insight into the grounded theory phenomenon
Excellent book. This takes students through the stages of research with good examples and no confusion
Highly reconmmended as a classic text for anyone undertaking research using grounded theory
If I was running a course on grounded theory this would be the key text. As I am involved in a research methods module where grounded theory is one of the many methods to be discussed I would strongly recommend it to students before they embark on a project using grounded theory. This text explains all aspects of using grounded theory. Students would not need any other texts to understand this method and how it can be used in research.
Excellent update of a classic text
Invaluable text for students wishing to find out more about Grounded Theory.
This is an excellent revision of what was already a very good text. The additional chapters and updating of content is sure to be a help to anyone wanting to get to grip with this complex methodology. Similarly, learners seeking a text that gives detail in how they may adopt grounded theory methods into the analysis of qualitative data won't be disappointed.
This will be a useful book for students who are planning to engage in a more indepth analysis using grounded theory for their qualitative research dissertations
