Dear Margaret.
I used Grounded Theory as a place holder for my own PhD-thesis. This means i used it as a theoretical framework but chose not to follow the prescribed and cumbersom methodology not very suited for an individual doctoral thesis, and I argued for this possition in my thesis.

Emne: Design research using Grounded Theory approaches
Can anybody direct me towards design research where Grounded Theory approaches have been used.
Given Grounded Theory's focus on generating emergent theory, I think that Grounded Theory is one approach for investigating areas of design that as yet are un-theorised or lacking in a conceptual framework. I am keen to locate design research that has been conducted from a Grounded Theory perspective, OR research that adapts the methodological processes of Grounded Theory to suit the particular requirements of design research.
