“…Thus, while [27] succeed in systematically deriving detailed technical specifications with GT, arguably they forego one of the key tenets of doing explorative research: to better understand the phenomenon at hand. The same holds true for [11], who has used GT for requirements analysis. While [11] succeeds in developing a class diagram summarizing the most important concepts of the system to be developed, a deeper understanding of the reasoning behind them (in line with the explorative nature of GT) remains implicit.…”

This paper shows how Grounded Theory (GT), a method for domain understanding predominantly used in the social sciences, can be useful for the design of a Domain Specific Modelling Language (DSML). Using a pilot study from the smart grid domain, we discuss how GT can be used to systematically derive the abstract syntax of a DSML from domain data. From this, we derive lessons learned from the application of GT, the most relevant being that (1) with GT, one systematically derives an abstract syntax of a DSML, reflecting domain commonalities and variation points, (2) in line with its explorative character, with GT one gains a grounded domain understanding, and the domain goals that a DSML should satisfy, (3) GT does imply a notable time investment, which one needs to weigh against its prospective benefits. Finally we present a concluding outlook in terms of implications for DSML design mechanisms.

“…Pinto and Santos (2012), for example, presented a study that shows results from a fieldwork guided by the grounded theory method. Other papers with similar proposal (Freitas & Mello, 2013;Halaweh, 2012;Kempster & Parry, 2011;Martin & Woodside, 2011;Mccreaddie & Payne, 2010;Papathanassis & Knolle, in press;Pinto & Santos, 2012) can be found in the literature.…”

This study aims to analyze the process of grounded theory, from the report of a research practical experience performed in Southern Brazil. It presents conceptual and structural aspects of grounded theory, focusing is on the description of the research process, from a fieldwork, which was carried out in order to understand the implementation phase of performance improvement programs in organizations. The study presents the research process of grounded theory, highlighting the use of analytical tools and research steps, considering the reality of the administration area. The study analyze the use of grounded theory from a real problem faced by organizations. From the results, it is possible to provide some important tips about the way of conducting the method considering the specificities of the organizational studies.

“…Axial coding is then used to reassemble data, by relating concepts (or subcategories) to broader, more abstract categories. During this exercise, the practitioner will begin to consider ''…causal conditions, phenomenon, context, intervening conditions, action/interaction and consequences'' (Halaweh 2012). Selective coding refers to the final stage of analysis; here, the analyst selects a core category as a vehicle for the subsumption of other categories (Benaquisto 2008).…”

No net loss of what, for whom?: stakeholder perspectives to Biodiversity Offsetting in England

Market-based instruments (MBIs) have emerged as a popular approach to balance development and conservation objectives. However, their ability to accomplish this is often beset by poor implementation in practice. This is testament to a widening gap between the rate of policy development and implementation of MBIs and the maturity of research and evaluation on their design, and impact on affected stakeholders. Within this context, this paper examines multi-stakeholder perspectives to the adoption of Biodiversity Offsetting in England, an instrument designed to enable biodiversity losses in one place to be compensated through conservation improvements elsewhere. Analysis reveals issues associated with social and ecological compensation of biodiversity loss. Findings suggest that there is a need for a broader consideration of issues surrounding distributive justice, access to nature and the status of ownership over sites of common heritage when accounting for biodiversity loss and its compensation. This message is salient to both the study context as well as the burgeoning international practice of Biodiversity Offsetting.
