by Harry Brook
Overview of Case Study Analysis
What is a case study?
A research method that
involves in-depth
exploration of a single
instance or phenomenon.
Why use case studies?
To gain a better understanding
of the situation, develop new
insights, and make informed
decisions based on evidence.
What are the key
elements of a case
study?
The problem, the context, the
stakeholders, the research
questions, the data collected,
and the proposed solutions.
Researching the Case Study
Where to find
information?
Use libraries, online sources,
interviews, questionnaires,
surveys, and other methods to
gather relevant data.
How to organize
information?
Use tools like mind maps, flow
charts, diagrams, and
spreadsheets to structure the
data and make sense of it.
What to look for?
Focus on the main issues, the
key players, the underlying
causes, the strengths and
weaknesses, and the
opportunities and threats.
Defining the Problem
1
Identify the problem
Define the central issue that needs to be
solved and clarify the scope and impact of the
problem.
2
Analyze the problem
Break down the problem into smaller
components, identify patterns and trends, and
consider different perspectives.
3
Formulate the problem statement
Create a concise and clear problem
statement that captures the essence of the
issue and guides the rest of the analysis.
Developing Solutions
Brainstorming
Generate as many ideas as
possible, encourage
creativity, and suspend
judgment.
Screening
Eliminate ideas that are
impractical, irrelevant,
infeasible, or unethical.
Developing alternatives
Create a shortlist of the most
promising solutions, based on
criteria such as feasibility,
effectiveness, efficiency, and
sustainability.
Evaluating Alternatives
Criteria for evaluation
Use objective and subjective
criteria to assess the pros and
cons of each alternative, such
as costs, benefits, risks,
impacts, and stakeholder
preferences.
Decision-making methods
Use techniques such as
decision matrices, cost-benefit
analysis, decision trees, and
scenario planning to compare
and rank the alternatives.
Risk analysis
Anticipate potential risks,
uncertainties, and
contingencies associated with
each alternative, and devise
plans to mitigate or avoid them.
Implementing the Chosen
SolutionPlanning and
Execution
Develop a detailed plan for implementing the chosen solution, taking into
account factors such as resources, stakeholders, timelines, and
communication channels. Monitoring and Control
Track progress, evaluate outcomes, and adjust the plan as needed based
on feedback, data, and changes in the environment.
Measuring the Results
Indicator Definition Measurement method
Effectiveness The extent to which the
solution achieves its
intended goals.
Surveys, interviews, focus
groups, observations.
Efficiency The amount of resources
used to produce the desired
outcomes.
Cost-benefit analysis, ROI,
productivity measures.
Sustainability The ability of the solution to
generate long-term benefits
without negative
consequences.
Environmental impact
assessments, stakeholder
analysis, risk management.
