G., 1935- 895 Case study research : what, why and how? / Peter G. Swanborn. Los Angeles : SAGE, 2010. ix, 178 p. : ill. ; 25 cm. How should case studies be selected? Is case study methodology fundamentally different to that of other methods? What, in fact, is a case? Case Study Research: What, Why and How? 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 sensitising 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. Includes bibliographical references (p. 163-173) and indexes. Preface What Is a Case Study? When to Conduct a Case Study? How to Select Cases? What Data to Collect?
