Synopsis

This is an authoritative and nuanced exploration of the many faces of case-based research methods. As well as the what, how, and why, the author also examines the when and which always with an eye on practical applications to the design, collection, analysis, and presentation of the research. Case study methodology can prove a confusing and fragmented topic. In bringing diverse notions of case study research together in one volume and sensitizing the reader to the many varying definitions and perceptions of 'case study', this book equips researchers at all levels with the knowledge to make an informed choice of research strategy."

About this title

Review

'This book is an excellent source for graduate students and researchers in various disciplines immersed in an old positivistic paradigm or a new evidence-based scientific movement. It offers precise advice regarding case study design, steps to be followed in conducting it, and a secure epistemological-methodological space in which appropriate strategies lead to solutions/answers' - "Maja Miskovic""The Qualitative Report"
