 From July 2001 I relocated from the UK to Bangkok Thailand. I live in Thailand as non-immigrant resident alien retired. I have successfully supervised seven researchers to gain PhD all using the grounded theory research method. Dr Barney Glaser in 2007 invited me to become a Fellow of the Grounded Theory Institute in Mill Valley California. In 2011, I have accepted the formal appointment of "Visiting Professor" at Glyndwr University in Wales. The professorship endorses the growing recognition of GT, as my main role at Glyndwr University is to increase both the quality and use of the GT methodology in PhD research in the business school Services offered:Methodological coaching and mentoring PhD thesis/dissertation review PhD thesis/dissertation examination Paper review Experience as a Grounded Theory ResearcherI have a close working relationship with the co-originator of Grounded Theory [Dr B Glaser] which has resulted in a series of international research seminars:
