In writing Basics of Grounded theory Analysis (Sociology Press, 1992), it became obvious to me that what was needed by the myriad of Grounded Theory readers and users throughout die world was a book of examples of grounded theory papers and chapters. These researchers needed models for how the various facets of grounded theory look when brought together into an integrated piece. This applies to both analysis of qualitative and particularly quantitative data. This Reader is designed to achieve this purpose. The general purpose of the reader is exampling, not content and coverage. Any set of papers achieves this goal. I trust the reader will enjoy the content, but it is the theoretical construction of these papers that should by studied.
