• May be subjective and prone to research bias

• Require minimal time and resources to conduct

• Generalizing findings to the larger population

• Choosing a specific instance of a phenomenon for investigation

• Focusing on numerical data only

• Conducting broad surveys

What is a multiple/collective case study?

• Analysis of a single unique case

• Examination of several cases to explore differences and similarities

• A hypothetical analysis

• Simplistic overview of multiple cases

Triangulation involves:

• Simplify the study of individual cases

• Avoid comparing different cases

• Perform statistical analysis only

Interviews in case studies are examples of:

• Quantitative methods

• Qualitative methods

• Triangulation
