Case Studies
A case study is a research approach that is used to generate an in-depth, multi-faceted understanding of a complex issue in its real-life context. It is an established research design that is used extensively in a wide variety of disciplines, particularly in the social sciences.
The Main components of an issue case study includes
1) Problem: What is it? What did it cost the organization? Why it was such a pain?
2) Search for solutions: Various alternatives tried to solve the problem. Why did the alternatives fail to solve the problem? Pros and cons of various solutions. How did the organization decide on the specific solution which is the subject of this case study?
3) Implementation of “The Solution” and results. Before-and-After assessment. Numerical comparisons.
