I'm seeking suggestions for references/guides on the procedures in developing a typology.
Dear Theresa,
in my opinion, this is a basic and important question, because developing a typology is an elementary step, if you are conducting qualitative research in social sciences. Personally, I'd prefer the term "typification" - as far as I know (I'm not a native speaker, my mother tongue is German) - you can find more articles / publications if you use this term.
"Typification" is part of analyzing qualitative data. So I'd like to recommend articles / publications about Grounded Theory, Qualitative Content Analysis or Objective Hermeneutics. All approaches are published in the form of monographs or collected editions. For example see:
Russell Bernard (2012): Social Research Methods: Qualitative and Quantitative Approaches. Sage Publications. (see chapter 19).
Uwe Flick (2013): The SAGE Handbook of Qualitative Data Analysis. Sage Publications. (see chapter 11, 12 and 16).
Uwe Flick (2009): An Introduction to Qualitative Research. Sage Publications.
Juliet Corbin; Anselm Strauss (2008): Basics of Qualitative Research: Techniques and Procedures for Developing Grounded Theory. Sage Publications.
Barney Glaser; Anselm Strauss (1999): The Discovery of Grounded Theory: Strategies for Qualitative Research. Aldine Pub.
Margrit Schreier (2012): Qualitative Content Analysis in Practice. SAGE Publications.
[Books on the subject "Qualitative Content Analysis" are mostly published German-speaking.]
Udo Kuckartz (2014): Qualitative Text Analysis: A Guide to Methods, Practice and Using Software. SAGE Publications.
Perhaps, you like the website "Forum: Qualitative Social Research". (online journal, open, free, with search function; see: http://www.qualitative-research.net/index.php/fqs ). There are a few examples for your insight:
Kluge, Susann (2000). Empirically Grounded Construction of Types and Typologies in Qualitative Social Research. Forum: Qualitative Social Research, 1(1), Art. 14, http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0114-fqs0001145.

Concluding, I add the following articles:
Diane Walker, Florence Myrick (2006): Grounded Theory. An Exploration of Process and Procedure. QUALITATIVE HEALTH RESEARCH, Vol. 16, No. 4, pp. 547-559. DOI: 10.1177/1049732305285972.

So I hope, there are valuable sources for you! Good luck with your research project and kind regards, Detlef.

Dear Theresa, I' ll take a different approach from that provided by Detlef. Do you know the Interdisciplinary Social Sciences? And perhaps, the MAUSS movement? (for Anti-Utilitarian Social Science)? Or also, the generative social science? I am working a little book on these subjects, myself.
Want to express my appreciation for the excellent respons you have provided, quite valuable also for a remote follower.
