Preferred term

case study research  

Definition

  • Case study research is a strategy used to investigate a bounded and particular unit of study (a case) to understand its complexity and/or the broader context in which it is situated. Scholars variously refer to the case study as an approach to designing, collecting, and analyzing data; a choice concerning which phenomenon they investigate (the case); or as a product of analysis (the form in which they present findings).
