Discovering new Theories

This book proposes an original research approach, a mixed typological research
design, which is in the legacy of classic Grounded Theory. This approach
allows researchers to accomplish productive academic empirical research by
developing and elaborating groundbreaking new theories. Such an approach
implies the utilization of mixed qualitative and quantitative data, in order
to allow researchers to develop theories of greater scope and reach.

The approach proposed in this book may be profitably applied by both novice
and experienced researchers in management and all social sciences as well as
in any science that uses empirical data, whose sources are human beings, for
instance medicine or nursing.
