Case Study Research Benefits
● Study a particular phenomenon arising from a particular entity, then a single-case
study is warranted and allow for a in-depth understanding of the single
phenomenon and would involve collecting several different types of data.
● Using a multiple-case research approach allows for a more in-depth understanding
of the cases as a unit, through a comparison of similarities and differences.
● Multiple case studies is often stronger and more reliable than from single case
studies. It allows for more comprehensive exploration of research questions and
theory development.
Case Study Research - Limitations
● Difficult to organise, data analyse and integration strategies need to be
carefully thought through.
● Reporting of findings from multiple case research studies is also challenging.
