[AISWorld] CFP AMCIS 2012 - Mini track on Grounded Theory

[Gaetan Mourmant]

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite your submissions to the AMCIS 2012 -- 18th 
Americas Conference on Information Systems, Seattle, Washington August 
9-12, 2012.

Track: Research Methods
Minitrack: Grounded Theory

http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/

Description:
----------------
Grounded Theory Methodology (GTM) is a systematic approach, supported by 
a set of well-defined tools (e.g. coding, memoing, constant comparison), 
with the goal of developing an understanding of usually little known 
social phenomena. Observed patterns can then be proposed as theory, 
(Glaser & Strauss, 1967), and such theory is grounded in data. According 
to GTM, "all is data", including qualitative and quantitative data 
(Glaser & Strauss, 1967).

This track welcomes papers based on either the Glaserian school (Glaser, 
1978, 1998; Glaser & Strauss, 1967) or the Straussian school (Strauss, 
1987; Strauss & Corbin, 1990, 1997, 1998).

We are looking for two types of papers:
1/ Those whose aim is the examination of MIS phenomena using GTM. Such 
examination may include theoretical development, at various levels 
related to MIS research area (e.g. IT usage, IT personnel, IT 
implementation) or the use of less common forms of GTM (e.g. Formal 
Grounded Theory, (Glaser, 2007)).
2/ Methodological developments related to GTM are also welcome, 
especially those developed to answer specific MIS questions.
