Title: Methodological Issues and Challenges of Grounded Theory in Social Entrepreneurship and Social Innovation Studies
Abstract: Grounded theory (GT) is developed by Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss as a qualitative research approach and methodology. Although it has been widely used in qualitative research, there are methodological contentions with regard to the use of this approach. This chapter discusses some of the methodological issues and challenges of using grounded theory approach in social entrepreneurship research. It is argued that while using this approach, the qualitative nature of the design need to be preserved, the objectivity from the subjective experience needs to be validated and also maintain equilibrium in resolving the differences and challenges in methodological issues.
