Case Study Research
What, Why and How?
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 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.
'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' -

Useful but this is a competitive field and it has to compete against established classics like Yin
Ver suitable for case study course work
Clear and easy to follow. Makes teaching and learning the subject easy.
It provides a specific look into the issues surrounding using a case study in research - this is great for more detail compared to general research texts.
Very good book, very help, makes a clear explanation of the ins and outs of casestudy research.
This is a welcome addition to the literature on case study research. It most helpfully gives an excellent overview on case study research.
This book will suplement the main course text by Yin
this book is very good for every researcher who is new in the using of case study. it explains case study with very simplest way.
The book does not really focus on how to use case studies and what to make of them as a teaching tool. It does not address students for that purpose. But it is a very good source for understanding how to use case studies for research purposes. For that purpose, I'd definitely suggest it.
