Abstract
The purpose in this chapter is not to discuss all issues of qualitative methodology or to show the different interpretations of what qualitative is and does. The purpose is more to highlight some of the central arguments in our discussion of ontology and epistemology in Part I in relation to methodology and theoretical construction and to raise some of the critical aspects in understanding reality and economic life.
