Strengths and Weaknesses of Grounded Theory Method

Strengths:

• Exploring a new domain, or a domain without a dominant theory

• Constructing a theory of the new domain

• Avoiding a premature conclusion about the new domain

Weaknesses:

• Not useful for testing a hypothesis, or trying to prove or disprove a theory

  • GTM is not for those who want to rely on a specific theoretical framework or build theories
  • GTM is a qualitative method, so it cannot be used to make causal inference
