[AISWorld] ICIS Workshop of the SIG on Grounded Theory Method - Second Call for Participation

[Fernandez, Walter]

Shanghai, China, Saturday Dec 7th 2011 13:00hs to 17:00hs. 
Workshop Co-Chairs: W Fernández, N Levina and S Sarker

The AIS Special Interest Group on Grounded Theory Methodology (SIGGTM) is delighted to invite you to participate in the 5th International Workshop on GTM Research at ICIS (GTMW2011) in Shanghai, China.  Wednesday, December 7th 2011, between 13:00 hours and 18:00 hours at the Conference Hotel.(*)

The workshop has been designed to provide a developing environment to IS grounded theorists, from beginners to advanced researchers. The workshop’s goal is to enable the discussion of GTM-related practical issues in a friendly, constructive and learned atmosphere.

The first part of the workshop will focus on the plurality of grounded theory research in Information systems. The keynote presentation by Walter Fernandez and Natalia Levina will discuss what constitutes good research in grounded theory.

Two invited presenters will talk about their respective articles, which are to be published in EJIS, these presentations will be thought-provoking as they push the boundaries of GTM research. 

Following the theme of diversity, a third invited presenter will show how to conduct a grounded theory study using quantitative data.

Finally, we will have a session showcasing GT research (see program below). This forum provides the opportunity for interaction and feedback among expert and learning grounded theorists. Those interested in participating please send a 100-200 words abstract to walter.fernandez at anu.edu.au for scheduling purposes.

(*) Please note that since this year ICIS has been scheduled earlier than usual, we are running the workshop immediately after the closure of the main ICIS conference to facilitate the attendance of colleagues with teaching commitments in the USA.
