Pre-Conference Workshop on Grounded Theory:

Grounded theory is a widely accepted and applauded research methodology in areas where intricate social dynamics are at play. The selection of a particular research methodology is influenced by a number of factors, including the researcher’s background and the nature of the research question

Objectives of Workshop:
Keeping in view the above introductory background of grounded theory methodology, we have set-up the following objectives to be achieved through this workshop. After participating in this workshop, attendees will be able to:

1. Learn that there are new possibilities of conducting research in social sciences other than well-established quantitative a few qualitative methodologies
2. Understand that grounded theory research is viable, reliable and rigorous
3. Learn that they can produce their own theories in social sciences rather than testing others’ theories
4. Conduct data collection grounded theory research
5. Conduct grounded theory analysis
6. Write grounded theory research
7. Present grounded theory research

Benefits to the Participants

This workshop is expected to be very beneficial to new and experienced researchers by enhancing their understanding of a new rigorous research methodology. This will help them produce new research in new innovating ways and probably introduce new theories in social science.

Resource Person:

Dr. Shakir Ullah will conduct the pre-conference workshop on Grounded Theory. He conducted his PhD studies using Grounded Theory as his research methodology and received a Certificate of Distinction from the University of Southampton, UK. His PhD thesis was accepted “with no corrections”, which was a record at the School of Management, University of Southampton.
