“…In our mixed research design, the literature review of the theory development of GT plays a major role in bridging qualitative and quantitative studies. However, utilizing a literature review of GT is a debatable issue among many scholars (Van Rensburg and Ukpere, 2014). For those arguing for the use of a literature review in GT, there is also no agreement on where to place the literature review during the GT research process.…”

“…For those arguing for the use of a literature review in GT, there is also no agreement on where to place the literature review during the GT research process. Van Rensburg and Ukpere (2014) discussed different views about this issue. In choosing the research process of GT to support our use of mixed research method when relating the qualitative research results to the quantitative study, this paper adopts the guidelines suggested by Pandit (1996).…”

“…In choosing the research process of GT to support our use of mixed research method when relating the qualitative research results to the quantitative study, this paper adopts the guidelines suggested by Pandit (1996). Pandit (1996) devised the research process of GT into five phases, including research design, data collection, data ordering, data analysis, and literature comparison, and suggested using the literature comparison in the final step to discern similarities and differences to one’s research (Van Rensburg and Ukpere, 2014). This study places the literature review as the last step of GT to pave the way for theory development in later quantitative studies and also to serve as a bridge between two research methods in a mixed research project.…”

Purpose The Internet of Things (IoT) envisions a global infrastructure of networked physical objects that render radical transparency to supply chain management. Despite the perceived advantages of IoT, industry has still not widely adopted IoT-enabled logistics and supply chain management. The purpose of this paper is to understand the incentives and concerns behind firms’ decisions to adopt IoT, explore the determinant factors affecting IoT adoption in logistics and supply chain management. Design/methodology/approach This study uses mixed methods research to explore the determinants of IoT adoption intention in logistics and supply chain management. Qualitative analysis using the Grounded Theory methodology reveals the underlying perceptions regarding logistic innovation with IoT. Quantitative hypotheses are then developed based on qualitative investigation and adoption literature. Survey data were collected from the managerial staff of Taiwanese firms across various industries. Structural equation modeling with partial least square is used for data analysis. Findings The results of the qualitative study identify uncertainties and issues regarding firms’ intention to accept or reject IoT technology in logistics and supply chain management, including the benefit and cost aspects of adopting IoT, uncertainties about the trustworthiness of IoT technology, and the external motivating force to embrace IoT. The resulting quantitative model shows that perceived benefits, perceived costs, and external pressure are significant determinants of IoT adoption intention, while technology trust is not. However, technology trust does indirectly influence IoT adoption intention through perceived benefits. Practical implications The empirical findings of this study provide some guidelines for logistics and supply chain managers to evaluate IoT adoption in their firms. Likewise, IoT solution providers can also benefit from this study by improving their solutions to mitigate the IoT adoption concerns addressed herein. Originality/value This paper is among the first known to examine IoT adoption intention in logistics and supply chain management using mixed methods research. The mixed methods approach offers a better insight in understanding incentives behind firms’ decisions to adopt IoT vs the use of either a qualitative or quantitative method alone.

The current study sets out to provide a thorough overview of core qualitative research designs widely deployed in social sciences in general and management science in particular. A scoping review of 160 articles, following PRISMA, was conducted to expose the philosophical underpinnings, key characteristics, and practical applications of each design. The scoping review was geared towards investigating commonly used qualitative research designs through the lens of ontology, epistemology, and axiology. The study general analysis model provides a subtle understanding of the strengths and limitations of each design. Importantly, the study acknowledges the potential challenges associated with each design, such as issues of generalizability and researcher bias. In a few words, this scholarly work aims at arming researchers with the required knowledge to select the most appropriate qualitative research design for their specific research objectives.
