Action research is well placed to develop this form of grounded theory. In my view, an important purpose of action research is the development of understanding and action. Understanding which derives from action. Understanding which in turn informs action. In this form, theory development observes well the intention of the earlier Glaser and Strauss work.
Theory is developed progressively as the data are collected.
