“A casestudy is an in-depth description and analysis of a bounded system” (Merriam, 2015, p.37). “The “what” is a bounded system (Smith, 1978), a single entity, a unit around which there are boundaries” (Merriam, 2015, p.38)/(Stake, 2005).

How to Analyze a CaseStudy Adapted from Ellet, W. (2007). The casestudy handbook. Boston, MA: Harvard Business School. A business case simulates a real situation and has three characteristics: 1. a significant issue, 2. enough information to reach a reasonable conclusion, 3. no stated conclusion. A case may include 1. irrelevant information 2.
Yin, Robert K.: Case Study Research. Design and Methods - JSTOR
The design of case studies in Yin'sbookrelates data to propositions, e.g. by pattern matching. This stems from the fact that Yin views the purpose of case study research, amongst others, as theory development. As such, theoretical propositions are a starting point (and not the result) of case study analysis. Therefore, case studies aim at analyti
UNDERSTANDING CASE STUDY RESEARCH - SAGE Publications Ltd
a casestudy is a study in which (a) one case (single case study) or a small number of cases (comparative case study) in their real life context are selected, and (b) scores obtained from these cases are analysed in a qualitative manner.
A (VERY) BRIEF REFRESHER ON THE CASE STUDY METHOD
the casestudy method favors the collection of data in natural settings, compared with relying on “derived” data (Bromley, 1986, p. 23)—for example, responses to a researcher’s instruments in an experiment or responses to questionnaires in a survey.

Whether you are starting as a novice or a seasoned investigator, this chapter will help you improve your casestudy research.1 The chapter differs from other case studyguides, and especially, the earlier case study chapter (Yin, 1998) in the first edition of this Handbook, in at least two ways.
Case study as a research method - CORE
Casestudymethod enables a researcher to closely examine the data within a specific context. In most cases, a case study method selects a small geographical area or a very limited number of individuals as the subjects of study.
