Riassunto

Designed to help both graduate students and start-up researchers with their own case study research, this book presents 21 individual applications of the case study method together with cross-referenced discussions of key methodological issues. Many of the applications—including a wide array of single-case studies useful as examples for solo researchers—have been shortened or re-written expressly for this book.

Recensione:

This text brings the theory of case study research to life by presenting real-life illustrations of research techniques in practice. Professionals and advanced students can learn a lot by modeling their own research strategies on these examples. (Mark Henderson 2011-04-29)
