Читать книгу Understanding Case Study Research - Malcolm Tight - Страница 35

In this chapter, we have:

 considered alternative perspectives on case studies, arguing that it is best seen as a research design

 examined where case study sits in relation to other recognised research designs

 explored the relation of case study to qualitative and quantitative forms of research, concluding that it may make use of either or both

 reviewed its strengths and weaknesses, discussing how these impact on the choice (or not) of case study as the selected research design

 considered the issues of generalisability, reliability and validity as they impact upon case study research

 concluded that while everything may be a case, not all research is case study research.
