Choose one of the following Grounded Theories to help you test your answer to the research question that you had in the first assignment. This theory should allow you to apply the framework that you intend to use to analyze your particular case study using variables that you have developed form the case study itself and which are applicable to the specific Grounded Theory you have selected.
You may get approval from me for the specific Grounded Theory you have selected before you start on this assignment, but you are not required to do so. If you are at all uncertain about your choice, I am happy to engage with you and provide you with my feedback that may be helpful/useful in confirming your choice and/or steering you to a more appropriate specific Grounded Theory for your particular research project.
