Abstract
Grounded theory provides researchers with a systematic way of developing theory, however the process can also be confusing for those attempting it for the first time. This study aims to clarify the analysis process and the kind of information that results from grounded theory (GT) research. Novice researchers and those embarking on a grounded theory study for the first time can benefit from understanding the various approaches and epistemologies; therefore it is important to become familiar with all traditions before choosing a specific path.
