Grounded theory for the bachelor thesis or master thesis

Grounded Theory is a social science approach to the systematic collection and evaluation of primarily qualitative data (interview transcripts, observation protocols) with the aim of generating theory. It is not a single method, but a series of interlocking processes (Source: Wikipedia ). I often notice that there is no direct literature on many new topics about digital change and therefore not through a normal one Literature analysis can be explored. So the researcher has to generate knowledge himself. Grounded theory can help here. What is the Grounded Theory? To this end, Bodendorf et al. (2010): The grounded theory is derived inductively through systematic collection and analysis of data related to the research object (Strauss and Corbin 1996, p. 7). Data collection, analysis and the emerging theory are arranged in a cycle that is run through several times as part of a research process. The following figure shows the control loop.…

Tips on the quantitative survey and evaluation method

In my research, in addition to a group discussion, I also collected the data. I carried out a quantitative survey for this. This is used for the quick collection of data that I have in the Round tables could evaluate together with the participants. In this article, I’ll give you some tips on how to do this. The following sections are taken from and quoted from my doctorate. Advantages and pilot test The advantage is that a high mass can be achieved quickly. The links to the questionnaire can be distributed specifically to already known participants and recommendations in their networks. In contrast to direct methods such as telephone interviews, the layout and design of the questionnaire is very important, as the researcher cannot provide explanations (Porst 2014). For example, a question can be misinterpreted. For this reason, my questionnaires were always tested with 5 pilot people, who then sent…

Tips on the method of group discussion and evaluation

In the course of my research, I am leading the Roundtables on agility and evaluate them very extensively. In the following I would like to give some tips on how successfully a group discussion can be carried out and how an evaluation can also be carried out. The group discussion method In a group discussion in particular, results can be obtained more quickly than in individual interviews and, in particular, the exchange of views between the participants can produce a broader understanding of the arguments. The goal of this method is also in collective decision-making. To better reach a consensus, I wrote in a paper by Prifiti et al. (2017) found a subspecies, i.e. the focus group discussion, as a method. For the evaluation, a so-called focus group consisting of equally valued and strictly selected experts is used. For this reason, the participants were specifically chosen from SMEs or corporations…

Differences Between Qualitative and Quantitative Research

Before writing a thesis or a research paper, you will be asked to define research methods. You have to name and describe these. This usually happens in the methodology part of the thesis. In this article I will show you exactly what methods are available and what the differences are. Reading tip: How do I classify my research scientifically? Qualitative research Qualitative research aims at unknown and often small samples. You gain access to reality through subjective interpretation. Specifically, this means that you are observing or questioning something or reading something in the form of a literature analysis. You usually do this for highly individual or unfamiliar questions. The disadvantages are that you often interpret subjectively and this is vulnerable. Everyone could interpret something different from the data. You must therefore give detailed reasons for your interpretation of the data. Here are three examples of qualitative research. Reading tips: Literature…
