The present study aimed to analyze the Brazilian publications in the area of management that used Grounded Theory (GT) as a method, seeking to provide an overview of its use in the country and identifying its main characteristics. For that, an integrative literature review was carried out, based on the consultation of the ANPAD congress annals database and the Spell data platform. The analysis was based on the characterization of the sample, as well as fourteen elements of the TFD. The results demonstrate a concentration of doctoral authors from the south and southeast of the country. In addition to the reduction in the use of the method in recent years. Still, it was observed that many studies did not go into the details of the use of the method. It appears that PDT consists of a complex method, and that it demands a lot of dedication and time from the researcher, due to the immersion in the data. Given this, it is evident the need for a greater discussion about the method in scientific events, in addition to the its introduction in graduate programs in management in the country.
