| Zusammenfassung: | 1. Introduction to case study research; 2. Building blocks of case study research; 3. Of talking pigs and black swans: single holistic case study design; 4. Do it again: the evidentiary basis of case studies is plural; 5. The natural experiment, aka the single embedded design; 6. Do it again (and again): multiple embedded case study design; 7. Sequencing case study designs: inductive-deductive; 8. More on sequencing case study designs: deductive-inductive; 9. A parting (optimistic) note. "Case study research is a versatile approach that allows for different data sources to be combined, with its main purpose being theory development. This book goes a step further by combining different case study research designs, informed by the authors' extensive teaching and research experience. It provides an accessible introduction to case study research, familiarizes readers with different archetypical and sequenced designs, and describes these designs and their components using both real and fictional examples. It provides thought-provoking exercises, and in doing so, prepares the reader to design their own case study in a way that suits the research objective. Written for an academic audience, this book is useful for students, their supervisors and professors, and ultimately any researcher who intends to use, or is already using, the case study approach"-- |
