Theory Building through Case Study
Theory building can provide an analytical framework, facilitate the development of a scientific discipline and is essential for solving the real world problems. However, the ratioof theory building research is very small and most of the researchers avoid doing this kind of research due to lack of enough knowledge about the theory building processes and especially about the qualitative data analysis methods. This challenge has been proceed so that some internal referees are affected too and pay less attention to the manuscripts without numbers and statistical analysis. Understanding this existing research gap in the country, the author has written this paper which is inferred from Eisenhardt`s method for hypothesis building. Eisenhardt gathered various pieces of theory building from related research and put them together for developing a roadmap. This road map has adapted a positivism approach. This means that the process is designed so that can develop the testable hypothesis and theory that could be extendable in various situations. This paper explains the stages of theory building through case study research, therefore it can be effective in eliminating the existing research gap in this regard.
