What is a case study?
When and why should case study methods be used?

How to Do Your Case Study Bewertungen

I would encourage all my students to make reference to this excellent resource. It provides a thorough, well explained foundation to case study research which will equip the reader to design and carry out their own projects. Thomas includes examples from across a number of disciplines, illustrating how to apply the theory to practice and presenting a clear discussion of how to effectively prepare, conduct, analyse and report research.

-- Ruth Hewston

This book continues to be our first recommendation for all our undergraduate education programmes due to the clarity of its prose, its wonderfully clear structure and the use of excellent examples to illustrate key points. This new edition includes expanded discussions and a very welcome new chapter on research ethics.

-- James Percival
