Setting out to dispel the argument that case study research lacks the science, theory and therefore validity of other forms of research, this book effectively bridges the divide between case theory and how it is applied in practice.

An accessible and current yet in depth introduction to conducting a case study or a project focusing on a company or business situation.

Using a step-by-step approach, Case Study Research for Business takes students right through the case study research process from research design and data collection using qualitative and quantitative methods, to research analysis, writing up and presenting work.

This book gives readers access to exemplary case studies drawn from a wide variety of academic and applied fields.

The Encyclopedia of Case Study Research provides a compendium on the important methodological issues in conducting case study research and explores both the strengths and weaknesses of different paradigmatic approaches.
