Case Study (Single & Multiple)
What is a Case Study (Single & Multiple)
A multiple-case study examines the same phenomenon using two or more instances or
replications across the cases. The research design separates single-case studies from
multiple-case studies, yet both fall under the same methodological umbrella (Yin, 2017).
What is a Case Study (Single & Multiple)
Purpose of Case Study (Single & Multiple)
Large group studies like randomized clinical trials can be effectively replaced by single-case research. Repeated
measurements and the modification of an independent variable are used in single-case studies. A study
methodology known as "multiple-case design" examines a number of instrumental, constrained situations while
utilizing various data gathering techniques. Due to the fact that this research approach offers more thorough
descriptions and explanations of the phenomena or issue, it is more effective than single-case designs.
Importance of Case Study (Single & Multiple)
It limits the research's scope because the findings are not generalizable
and are restricted to one person or group of people. Therefore, it is
challenging to generalize the findings.
Limitations of Case Study (Single & Multiple)
In many instances, the term "case study" has evolved to mean "freeform research
where anything goes." Because there are so few methodological rules, according to Yin
(2009: 14–15), the lack of systematic case study research techniques has historically
been the biggest problem.
