-Grounded theory reverses approaches in research that collected data in order to test the validity of theoretical propositions, in favor of an approach that emphasizes the generation of theory from data.

1.Attempt to develop categories which derive from the data.
2.Attempting then to give as many examples as possible in the categories developed in order to demonstrate their importance.
3.Developing these categories into more general and broader analytical frameworks or theories with relevance to other situations outside the research subject.
