What is a case study?

• A case study is a type of research to better understand a particular problem. It

mostly focuses on strategies and refers to a specific person, an action, a
company, or an event, even. The idea is to understand an overall path a
company or person took around a specific goal. The main objective of a case
study is to learn beforehand from a particular case or scenario to improve
similarly applicable processes. 

• To achieve the above, this method seeks to analyze information around a given
topic, including its context and all relevant factors that affect it. It goes in-depth
on a particular area with the hopes of solving a problem. This kind of analysis is
moreover useful to avoid making a similar mistake in the future. 
 How a case study is useful in business

• Now that we’ve clarified the definition of a case study, we should

get to its importance for a business. The obvious plus to working on
a case study for your company is how that knowledge sheds light on
your standing processes. Analyzing a client’s experience is an
epicenter for tons of new knowledge about your company.
Researching a particular case in depth can help you figure out
changes you can make to your business. That’s especially true in
terms of why a specific action worked beautifully in non-traditional
ways to solve rather common trouble. Doing that can ensure you
keep delivering top-notch solutions to industry commonalities.
 Making the best of failure through case
studies
• Now, on the other hand, there’s also lots to learn from failure
through case studies. Say you read up on 
common startup mistakes that ruin a business. Through a case
study, you could be going deep into at least 1 of the 
startup myths that kill companies, for example. You’ll be learning
through examples that constitute qualitative and quantitative
evidence as to why a standard error was uniquely avoided in a
particular scenario
 How to write a case study
• If you’re wondering how to write a case study, primarily if you aim to write a
convincing one, there are at least five sections for the sake of structure on which
you should focus. We’ll describe those shortly. Yet, before you do that, know every
case study goes through a state of contemplation. First, look for the key and diverse
elements that will help you analyze the problem you’re discussing. 
• If you’re trying to write a compelling case study about someone or a company other
than yourself, you should go over as much information as you can about them. One
missed detail can bring down your hypothesis, so aim to know as much as possible to
avoid that. 
• For better results yet, clarify for yourself what issue is the precise one you’ll be
analyzing. Make sure you come to the bottom of it succinctly. Doing so will help you
significantly in the first section that we detail below when you aim to state that for
others. 
 Five basic sections of a case study
• The first is an introduction that explains the problem. You can see this as a critical issue of a case. 

• A piece of advice here if you’re going to write about your company is to define your target audience.
Include real figures. Use only crucial information throughout and determine the specific strategy you’ll be
discussing. 

• Then, position this problem in context by going over background information, which needs to include the
most relevant information to said case. Remember, convincing data stands on factual research. 

• Do your actual evaluation next. This is where you explain vital elements and the proposed solution to the
matter. Be as specific as possible. Focus on what you did right (or wrong, in case you’re studying a
failure). Make sure you have a full grasp of the specifics of what happened. Analyze your information and
systematize metrics here. Use graphs or other tools to present your results, and state your solution or
learnings clearly. 

• The wrap-up refers to final steps or recommendations, if not just conclusions drawn from the case.
