In open coding, 269 primary codes, in axial coding, 50 major categories, and in selective coding, 16 core categories are classified into conditional, interactive / process, and consequential. In order to achieve the goals of research based on grounded theory, entrepreneurship development was identified as the main phenomenon in the form of a logical model and based on its understanding with conditions (causal, intermediate and contextual), interactions / actions and consequences.
