Taxonomy development

Process description

This process goes beyond Bailey’s three-level indicator model[1] to combine the conceptualization/deduction and empiricism/induction strategies into a single method that encourages the researcher to use the strategies in an iterative manner to best reach a useful taxonomy. In addition, it includes specific ending conditions that test the taxonomy as it is being developed. This approach is consistent with the design science ‘generate/test cycle’ described by Hevner et al[2]. Finally, it adds the important concept of meta-characteristic that Bailey does not identify explicitly or implicitly.
