The case study is a research method which generally falls into the broader category of qualitative research. It is largely employed by an array of social sciences such as psychology, anthropology, education and health studies and Science and Technology Studies (STS). Even though the subjects of research, or ‘cases’, may differ between disciplines, there are certain strengths, weaknesses and limitations to case studies that can be summarised to provide a general overview of the method. In my essay, I will explore the characteristics of the case study and link them to examples of the previously documented cases. I will focus mainly on the fields of anthropology and STS as two disciplines that have made case studies their main research tool. In doing so I aim to demonstrate the ways that case studies can be a useful tool in a social scientist’s arsenal.

Simulation model for a sustainable food supply chain in a developing country: a case study of the banana supply chain in malawi.

1. Introduction

Problem definition, 2. literature review, 2.1. food sustainable supply chain practices in developing countries, 2.1.1. awareness, 2.1.2. collaboration, 2.1.3. efficiency, 2.1.4. knowledge and information-sharing, 2.1.5. resilience, 2.1.6. governance, 2.2. modelling in sustainable supply chains, 2.2.1. simulation techniques, 2.2.2. design science research, 2.2.3. des and dsr in combination, 2.2.4. gap in the literature, 3. materials and methods, 3.1. dsr methodological approach, 3.2. model input parameters, 3.3. base model assumptions.

• Harvest is always available; therefore, the input is not starved at any point.
• Disruptions caused by resource breakdowns are not modelled (due to a lack of the required statistical data).
• The model operates 24 h, but all operations, up to truck loading, are completed within seven hours, a typical daily shift for the case study.
• A week has five working days, but operations can occur on an additional sixth day.
• Randomness simulation in operations is not performed (due to a lack of statistical data).
• Storage capacity is unlimited at any stage in the SC for the quantities typically harvested.
• Period randomness is evened out.
• There is stable market for the products

3.4. Base Model Validation

3.5. evaluation of alternative model designs, 4.1. standalone model, 4.2. integrated model, 5. discussion, 5.1. theoretical implications, 5.2. managerial implications, 5.3. practical and policy recommendations, 6. conclusions, 6.1. findings, 6.2. research limitations, 6.3. recommendations for future work, supplementary materials, author contributions, data availability statement, conflicts of interest.
