Gerund Grounded Theory: The Basic Social Process Dissertation

“It is my observation that studying dissertations in one's field is the best way to learn how to do one, to write one, and to see what one looks like. Reading dissertations is a modeling phenomenon on many dimensions. The purpose of Gerund Grounded Theory is to provide models for the grounded theory dissertation based on a basic social process theoretical code model. It gives the general idea of a Basic Social Process dissertation and the grounded theory methodology behind it.” - Barney G. Glaser Ph.D.
