Hence, purpose of this paper is to discuss family group decision making behavior in house purchasing by using grounded theory, hopes to give a comprehensive framework to provide a solid background for potential follow up researches.

With the selecting code, which linked and described the relationship between the axial codes, this paper evidently illustrated the model of family group decision making behavior. |
