Explanation
In grounded theory the process runs from general research questions to relevant data collection, coding, saturating categories and finally exploring relationships between categories.
It begins with broad general research questions rather than fixed hypotheses.
Relevant data are then collected through theoretical sampling.
Coding breaks the data into concepts and groups them into categories.
Categories are refined until saturation, when new data add nothing further.
Exploring relationships between saturated categories yields the emergent theory.
