Zusammenfassung	Multiple case-based Straussian grounded theory combines Strauss and Corbin's systematic coding procedures — open, axial, and selective coding — with a multiple case design in which the same grounded theory analysis is conducted across two or more purposively selected cases. The approach aims to generate a mid-range theory grounded in rich, cross-case qualitative data while capitalizing on the comparative leverage offered by multiple sites or units, ultimately producing a theory with broader scope and stronger transferability than a single-case grounded theory study.	Straussian Grounded Theory is a systematic qualitative methodology developed by Anselm Strauss and Juliet Corbin that generates theory inductively from data through structured coding procedures. Unlike exploratory description, it aims to produce a substantive mid-range theory that explains how a social process unfolds, grounding every theoretical claim directly in empirical evidence collected from participants who have experienced the phenomenon under study.
