Chapter Chapter 5 in The Essence of Research Methodology, 2010, pp 77-96 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The essence of qualitative research is to identify the characteristics and structure of phenomena and events examined in their natural context. Subsequently, these characteristics are brought together to form a mini theory or a conceptual model. Conducting qualitative research requires an ‘open’ attitude in order to understand how others experience their situation. As in the previous chapter, this chapter provides a concise overview of qualitative methodology, methods and techniques. The demonstration of the various methods is done on the basis of ‘grounded theory’, in accordance with the chain reasoning of Toulmin and action research. This chapter finishes again with some critical analysis and a summary.
