Multiple case-based Straussian grounded theory
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.
