The logic of purposive sampling is:

       To use participants because the researcher has access to them.

       That a random sample can generalize to a population.

       That a few information-rich participants studied in depth yield many insights about a topic.

       To include all participants, even though they are not all relevant to the problem.

The research process consists of a number of steps. The first step in any research is selecting the topic, which could start from the broad area of interest. 
The sequence of steps in researcher process are
1. Broad Problem Area
2. Preliminary Data Collection
3. Problem Definition
4. Theoretical Framework
5. Generation of Hypotheses
and so on....

The logic behind purposeful
sampling is that a few cases studied in depth
yield many insights about a topic
(McMillian & Schumacher, 1997).
