[AISWorld] ICIS 2014: The International Workshop on Grounded Theory Research

[Walter Fernandez]

First announcement: Call for Slam Session participants.



We would like to invite you to participate in the 8th annual International Workshop on the Grounded Theory Method to be held in Auckland, New Zealand.  Wednesday, 17 December 2014, between 12:00 and 18:30hs.  Everybody is welcome to register and attend!



The focus of the workshop will be on flexible use of the grounded theory method, we have a very interesting program with the typical mix of advanced and supportive sessions that make this workshop so unique and valuable.  Following from last year’s successful “Slam Session,” we are repeating the session of 4 min presentations followed by 5 min of discussion. The purpose of the presentation is to have researchers bring in issues they are struggling with in using GTM for their research projects (during any stage of the project: data collection, analysis, writing, or publication).  The participation in this part of the workshop is on the first-come first-serve basis with the focus on covering a broad spectrum of questions (maximum 8 slots are available). In order to present please send an email to w.fernandez at unsw.edu.au<mailto:w.fernandez at unsw.edu.au> by 1 November 2014, answering the following questions :



1)      Will you commit to registering and attending the workshop if your presentation is selected?

2)      Your name, affiliation, and stage of your career (e.g., PhD Student, untenured Faculty, tenured faculty).

3)      One sentence formulating the key issue you are struggling with and would like help from the group.

4)      One paragraph (up to 200 words) detailing NOT your research topic, but rather how you used GTM, and where you got stuck and need help.



Note, that you are most welcome to attend the workshop without presenting; in fact, most attendees are not presenters.  You will have opportunities to participate in the discussion throughout the program both through Q&A after each presentation as well as in the general discussion at the end of the workshop. A further announcement will be made once all participants are confirmed.


Since the last few meetings have been very popular, we are now in a position to reduce the fees (which have been constant for some years). This years cost of registration will be as follows:
