The Role of IS Capabilities in the Development of Multi-Sided Platforms: The Digital Ecosystem Strategy of Alibaba.com (2015, neutral): “In particular, if a piece of data that did not fit easily in the existing schema emerged, then we modified the theoretical dimensions and second-order themes and the relationships between them with either open or axial coding, respectively (Walsham, 2006).”
Bridging the Qualitative-Quantitative Divide: Guidelines for Conducting Mixed Methods Research in Information Systems (2013, methodology): “Although both qualitative and quantitative methods can arguably be used to address similar research questions, qualitative methods have typically been used more in IS and other social sciences for exploratory research in order to develop a deep understanding of a phenomenon and/or to inductively gen”
Agility from First Principles: Reconstructing the Concept of Agility in Information Systems Development (2009, positive): “A methodological review of past literature is a “cru-cial endeavour” (Webster and Watson 2002) for any academic research, and it is vital that this is done in a rigorous and comprehensive manner (Webster and Watson 2002, Walsham 2006, Levy 2006).”
Digital transformation and the new logics of business process management (2020, neutral): “We began the analysis of the data in tandem with data collection to sharpen emerging understanding by recursively iterating between the theoretical concepts and the data (Suddaby, 2006; Walsham, 2006).”
The Research Audit Trial - Enhancing Trustworthiness in Qualitative Inquiry (2009, background): “However, Walsham (2006) suggests that a researcher can generalise to concepts, theory, specific implications or to rich insights.”
Guiding the use of Grounded Theory in Doctoral studies – an example from the Australian film industry (2011, background): “As Walsham (1995, 2006) discussed, socially constructed knowledge in IS requires an interpretive approach to inquiry; this renders its interpretation as subjective and value-laden (Galal, 2001).”
Exploring Organizational Sustainability of Industry 4.0 under the Triple Bottom Line: The Case of a Manufacturing Company (2018, methodology): “reducing subjectivity in empirical evidence [52,53].”
