Grounded Theory : A Short Cut to Highlight a Researchers’ Intellectuality

Problem statement: Grounded theory is one of the research approaches in qualitative research that enables the researcher to use his/her intellectuality to make sense of and construct a theory based on finding collected throughout the fieldwork.
