A difference between grounded theory research approach and experimental studies.
      I had been always thinking there are something similar or even same between the qualitative research approach of grounded theory and DBR's experimental studies. Because both of them are inductive, producing some theories to guide the locale practice.

Also, both of them, the researchers must adjust their questions, methods, and strategies according to the data they collect in the researching process.

      Today I just read Sharan B. Merriam et.al's book of Qualitative Research in Practice, and found there are some clearance for both of them:

      "Unlike hypotheses in experimental studies, grounded theory hypotheses are tentative and suggestive rather than tested."

       I hope I could read more about these two conceptions.
