Open-ended methodology; bottom-up approach
GTM: is used when there is no theory
RQ: How do people behave in/react/respond to...?

Problem: their perceptions are studied as to how they act/react/ strategically deal with a shared phenomenon.
Data: interview, multiple times
Data Analysis: constant comparative method
Written Report: structured and includes graphic
