About this Item

This book outlines the richness of case study approaches in their contribution to theory. It offers master and doctoral students a systematic overview of how to conduct case study research considering the variety of its approaches. A continuum of theory is outlined in order to clarify the contribution of research designs to theory. Research topics, research questions, and the role of the theoretical and empirical state of the art are discussed. The conceptual framework is displayed as an orientation, guiding the study theoretically as well as methodologically.The core of the book is the investigation into the main approaches of case study re-search. Exploratory, explanatory, constructivist, and extended case study approaches are outlined and compared. Commonalities and differences in data collection and data analysis within case study research are deepened.
Das Lehrbuch bietet Studierenden im Master- und Promotionsstudium eine systematische Einführung in die Durchführung von Fallstudienforschung (Case Study Research). Der Fokus liegt darauf, wie Fallstudien systematisch zur Theoriebildung beitragen können
Grundlagen der Forschung: Formulierung präziser Forschungsfragen, Bestimmung des Forschungsgegenstands und die Rolle des theoretischen sowie empirischen Forschungsstandes
Konzeptioneller Rahmen: Darstellung eines Orientierungsrahmens, der die Untersuchung sowohl theoretisch als auch methodisch leitet
Die vier Hauptansätze von Fallstudien: Das Herzstück des Buches vergleicht und beschreibt vier zentrale Perspektiven:Explorativ (exploratory)Explanativ/Erklärend (explanatory)Konstruktivistisch (constructivist)Erweitert (extended case study approaches
Datenerhebung und -analyse: Vertiefung der Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede bei der Erfassung und Auswertung von Daten innerhalb der verschiedenen Fallstudien-Ansätze.
