American Prisons: A History of Good Intentions.

External legitimation in international new ventures: toward the typology of captivity

“…An important feature of qualitative research is that there is significant overlap between the data collection and analysis phases (Eisenhardt, 1989;Glaser, 1978). Data were collected from decision-makers (entrepreneurs/owners) and corroborated by data collected from their stakeholders, such as investors, strategic advisors, liquidators, policy makers, and business journalists in four phases: from 2000 through 2005.…”

“…The above frames were structured in NVivo around an event-listing matrix (Miles and Huberman, 1994) that allowed the exploration of what led to what, when, and why. The content of the event-listing matrix emerged after the initial 'free coding' or open coding (Glaser, 1978) for each case was completed. The cases' respective critical incidents are summarised in the Appendix.…”

“…Grounded in data, the paper will put forward a typology of captivity along with the four types that emerged: captive industry supplier, captive dyadic partner, captive market leader, and free market leader. Captivity belongs to the degree family of codes (Glaser, 1978), and refers to the situation when: 1 a firm has no practicable alternative but to sell their products via a single enterprise player 2 there is a limited number of customers in the identified niche market.…”

“…It is during the middle step -coding the data -that connotative categories cause problems. These problems arise primarily because for connotative interpretations: (a) coding cannot follow a series of coding rules, (b) the amount of training needed for the coders may be prohibitive, and (c) properly making interpretations requires "theoretical sensitivity" (Glaser, 1978) which not everyone possesses in equal measure and which can be maximized through collaboration rather than independent judgments.…”

“…Others allow their themes to emerge based on metaphors and analogies derived from a participant's expression of thoughts through commonly cultured quotes (Lakoff and Johnson, 1980). They can also emerge from similarities in the data set allowing an inductive interpretation of the participant's views, through constant interaction throughout the text, and without prior expectations (Glaser 1978;Strauss and Corbin 1990;Charmaz, 2003). In this thesis, themes have emerged through the inductive interpretation of the data set and without having prior expectations.…”
