Larkin Terrie -- Peer C. Fiss -- Frances Griffiths -- Sue Dopson, Ewan Ferlie, Louise Fitzgerald and Louise Locock -- Pip Bevan -- Wendy Olsen -- David Byrne, Wendy Olsen and Sandra Duggan -- Charles C. Ragin. Part One. Part Two. Part Three.
"Case-based methods have a long history in the social sciences. They are extensively used and raise many practical and theoretical questions. This book provides a comprehensive, critical examination of case-oriented research. It offers concrete proposals about the best research methods and provides an unparalleled guide to the emergence and complexity of the field."--Publisher's website.
