Summary, in English

The growing popularity and constant innovations of social media platforms and applications have transformed ways of interacting, working, creating value, and innovating. They have also provided researchers with treasure troves of new data ripe for theorizing. Here we elaborate upon grounded theory building from social media data by delving into key dimensions of the research process: case study design, data analysis, and engaging in multiple methods.
