Abstract
This position paper addresses how to develop a design theory to support the collaborative
practice of qualitative data analysis. Qualitative researchers face several challenges in making
sense of their empirical data and IS-support for this practice can be found in software applications
such as NVivo, Atlas.ti, and DeDoose. While these software tools have utility and are
valuable, they are also limiting – and they are particularly limiting researchers in their collaborative
efforts with their co-researchers. In this paper, we investigate a design theory to extend
it to support collaboration. We use this as a stepping stone to discuss how to use a design
theory to problematize existing applications and how to extend a design theory by abduction.
