Abstract

The present paper draws on the main issues in the production of scientific knowledge based upon grounded theory in management accounting research. This piece of work is a bibliographic study confronting grounded theory practices with the expectations of its founders (Glaser et Strauss, 1967; Strauss et Corbin, 1998). After we shed light on the principles and issues in the discovery of a grounded theory, we bring insights into the variety of uses thereof throughout eleven articles claiming that positioning.
