Informal creative labour practices: A relational work perspective (2018, methodology): “To probe the theory-building potential of the emerging theme, I corroborated the credibility, internal validity and transferability of the data (Lincoln and Guba, 1984) by ‘redirecting’ the study towards an investigation of the new phenomenon in a ‘contiguous setting’ (Dubois and Gadde, 2002).”
Decision theory in sustainable supply chain management: a literature review (2014, methodology): “An abductive approach (Dubois and Gadde, 2002; 2010; Kovács and Spens, 2005) is taken to address both the theoretical foundation offered, and also to identify how well references to decision-making in SSCM literature fit with particular DT typologies and other related concepts.”
From strategic goals to business model innovation paths: an exploratory study (2017, background): “Even though it has been subject to criticism, abduction is seen as a method for testing new ideas or for making sense of new (or unknown) situations by moving back and forth between empirical discovery and theory (Dubois and Gadde, 2002).”
Making Business Partners: A Case Study on how Management Accounting Culture was Changed (2007, background): “Dubois and Gadde (2002) have defined abduction as a constant moving from the empirical to theoretical dimensions of analysis.”
