“…Various data collection methods are available in ethnography, including participant 133 observations, interviews, focus groups, audio-visual material and documents (Gobo, 2008b In GT, the researcher uses multiple stages of collecting, refining, and categorizing the data (Charmaz,159 2014). The principles of emergence, theoretical sampling, and constant comparison are fundamental 160 in GT in order to obtain a theory grounded in the data (Corbin and Strauss, 2008;Walsh et al, 2015). 161…”

“…Moreover, it gives close-up and in-depth insights into various organizational phenomena [7,8] perspectives and motivations for actions [1,8]. However, despite the explicit attention of journal editors to what qualitative research is and how it could or should be conducted [8][9][10], it is not always transparent how particular research was actually conducted [2,11]. A typical topic of debate is what the size of a sample should be for inductive qualitative research to be credible and dependable [9,12] (Note that in this paper, I refer to qualitative research in an inductive context.…”

(I Can’t Get No) Saturation: A Simulation and Guidelines for Sample Sizes in Qualitative Research

I explore the sample size in qualitative research that is required to reach theoretical saturation. I conceptualize a population as consisting of sub-populations that contain different types of information sources that hold a number of codes. Theoretical saturation is reached after all the codes in the population have been observed once in the sample. I delineate three different scenarios to sample information sources: "random chance," which is based on probability sampling, "minimal information," which yields at least one new code per sampling step, and "maximum information," which yields the largest number of new codes per sampling step. Next, I use simulations to assess the minimum sample size for each scenario for systematically varying hypothetical populations. I show that theoretical saturation is more dependent on the mean probability of observing codes than on the number of codes in a population. Moreover, the minimal and maximal information scenarios are significantly more efficient than random chance, but yield fewer repetitions per code to validate the findings. I formulate guidelines for purposive sampling and recommend that researchers follow a minimum information scenario.

“…Research sites were selected to achieve a dichotic sample that provides many possibilities for comparison, which enables richer theory development (Glaser and Strauss, 1967; Strauss and Corbin, 1990; Corbin and Strauss, 2014; Walsh et al, 2015). This study intended to contrast firms that were different in terms of their variety of resource characteristics, learning mechanism, routes of choice, and that were at different interaction of firm competence.…”

Abstract. Traditionally, scholars suggest firm shall sequential to develop technology-oriented competence to enter other markets (Technology Promote Market, TPM). However, in practice, we observe contradiction that the international enterprises adopt the market-oriented perspective so as to first reflect on market, and then transfer external firm's technologies and experiences to firms (Market Promote Technology, MPT). It is an interesting phenomenon that motive to resolve the gap between the theoretical argument and practice. Thus, we explore the sequence between prioritize to develop technology and market competence, and characteristics, mechanism, and routes of interaction of small-sized firm competence. This research using the extended case method (ECM) compared two Taiwan FPD (Flat Panel Display) enterprises that produce TFT-LCD (Thin Film Transistor-Liquid Crystal Display) manufacturing equipment. We found that firms possessing the characteristics of improvement resources (CIR), develop technology competence first, and apply intra-organizational learning (intra-OL) mechanism and inside-out routes (IOR) to promote market competence. Conversely, firms having the characteristics of social resources (CSR), develop market competence first, and utilize inter-organizational learning (inter-OL) mechanism and outside-in routes (OIR) to promote technology competence.
