Excerpt from Inductive System Diagrams: An Empirically Based Theory Generation Technique
In verification research to test a hypothesis, the investigator must already know what it is they are going to discover (kirk Miller In theory generation research, by definition, the researcher does not know what they are going to discover. The relatively small sample sizes and lack of reliance on random sampling techniques associated with the theoretical sampling requirements of grounded theory methods generate conflict with many of the traditional tests of validity outlined by Cook and Campbell As a result, a fundamental issue of theory generation research is how to express the validity of the developed theories.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a research methodology called Inductive System Diagrams (ISDs) as a tool for developing and testing empirically based theories. The author argues that ISDs combine the strengths of grounded theory methods and system dynamics to generate reliable and valid theories with verifiable data, explicit inferences, and testable predictions. The book provides detailed instructions on how to use ISDs, including step-by-step examples. It also discusses the limitations of causal-loop diagrams and explores potential next steps for research using ISDs. The author concludes by emphasizing the significance of ISDs in advancing theory generation research and enhancing the validity of empirically based theories.
