Does the methodology enable the development of a theory?
GT: Yes, a theory is grown through an iterative process that challenges any potential boundaries that exist with the current data set. AT: No, the outcome is descriptive, but looks towards informing design and the creation of an artifact for the community in question. AT will argue the a theory is irrelevant. This does suggest that there are key differences that would occur through a re-analysis using AT of the original GT study. To enable the re-analysis a summary of the original GT work follows.
