  • Case Study Research a multi faceted Research approach for is
    Information Systems Journal, 1996
    Co-Authors: Angele L M Cavaye
    Abstract:

    Abstract. A wide variety of approaches can be applied under the heading of Case Study Research; this paper explicitly discusses the range of the alternatives. Many papers discussing Case Study Research emphasize one particular variation of Case Study Research only. The current paper provides an overview of the various uses of Case Study Research in the information systems field by describing the different ways in which Case Study Research can be used, using examples from published IS literature for illustration, and providing references to other method papers for more detailed discussion of each alternative. Researchers are reminded that Case Study Research can be used in the positivist and interpretivist traditions, for testing or building theory, with a single or multiple Case Study design, using qualitative or mixed methods. The range of Case Study Research alternatives makes it a highly versatile Research strategy for IS

  • Case Study Research in information systems
    Research Methods, 2018
    Co-Authors: Graeme Shanks, Nargiza Bekmamedova
    Abstract:

    Case Study Research is widely used within information systems. This chapter provides an introduction to Case Study Research and discusses a number of issues which have an impact on the successful completion of Case Study Research. We define Case Study Research and highlight its inherent flexibility, discussing the most widely used types of Case studies and the different philosophical paradigms within which Case Study Research is conducted. We then provide detailed discussions about the issues that influence the design and conduct of Case Study Research.

  • Guidelines for Conducting Positivist Case Study Research in Information Systems
    Australasian Journal of Information Systems, 2002
    Co-Authors: Graeme Shanks
    Abstract:

    The Case Study Research approach is widely used in a number of different ways within the information systems community. This paper focuses on positivist, deductive Case Study Research in information systems. It provides clear definitions of important concepts in positivist Case Study Research and illustrates these with an example Research Study. A critical analysis of the conduct and outcomes of two recently published positivist Case studies is reported. One is a multiple Case Study that validated concepts in a framework for viewpoint development in requirements definition. The other is a single Case Study that examined the role of social enablers in enterprise resource planning systems implementation. A number of guidelines for successfully undertaking positivist Case Study Research are identified including developing a clear understanding of key concepts and assumptions within the positivist paradigm; providing clear and unambiguous definitions of the units and interactions when using any theory; carefully defining the boundary of the theory used in the Case Study; using hypotheses rather than propositions in the empirical testing of theory; using fuzzy or probabilistic propositions in recognising that reality can never be perfectly known; selecting Case studies carefully, particularly single Case studies; and recognising that generalisation from positivist, single Case studies is inherently different from generalisation from single experiments. When properly undertaken, positivist, deductive Case Study Research is a valuable Research approach for information systems Researchers, particularly when used within pluralist Research programs that use a number of different Research approaches from different paradigms.

  • successfully completing Case Study Research combining rigour relevance and pragmatism
    Information Systems Journal, 1998
    Co-Authors: Peta Darke, Graeme Shanks, Marianne Broadbent
    Abstract:

    The organizational and social issues associated with the development, implementation and use of computer-based information systems have increasingly attracted the attention of information systems Researchers. Interest in qualitative Research methods such as action Research, Case Study Research and ethnography, which focus on understanding social phenomena in their natural setting, has consequently grown. Case Study Research is the most widely used qualitative Research method in information systems Research, and is well suited to understanding the interactions between information technology-related innovations and organizational contexts. Although Case Study Research is useful as a means of Studying information systems development and use in the field, there can be practical difficulties associated with attempting to undertake Case studies as a rigorous and effective method of Research. This paper addresses a number of these difficulties and offers some practical guidelines for successfully completing Case Study Research. The paper focuses on the pragmatics of conducting Case Study Research, and draws from the discussion at a panel session conducted by the authors at the 8th Australasian Conference on Information Systems, September 1997 (ACIS 97), from the authors' practical experiences, and from the Case Study Research literature.

  • Case Study Research and theory building
    Advances in Developing Human Resources, 2002
    Co-Authors: Larry M Dooley
    Abstract:

    The problem and the solution. This chapter overviews Case Study Research and proposes a manner in which Case Study Research can contribute to theory building in applied disciplines. Although theory building using Case Study Research has been discussed previously in the literature, there is no clarity as to how Case Study Research can be used to build theory. Moreover, it should not be assumed that there is clarity on the processes of Case writing, Case studies, or Case Study Research. This chapter presents definitions, purposes, and elements of Case Study Research for the purpose of understanding how Case Study Research can be used to build theory in applied disciplines.

  • Using Case Study Research as a rigorous form of inquiry
    Nurse researcher, 2014
    Co-Authors: Camille Cronin
    Abstract:

    AIM: To describe how Case Study Research (CSR) was used inductively as an all-encompassing theoretical framework to examine learning in the workplace. BACKGROUND: Case Study Research is a method with strong philosophical underpinnings which provides a framework for exploratory Research in real-life settings ( Yin 2009 ). DATA SOURCES: A Study of five students' experiences of learning in healthcare environments to explore real-life contexts over the course of two years. The Study was rich with empirical data, offering a pragmatic framework for learning in the workplace. REVIEW METHODS: Observations, interviews and documents were used. DISCUSSION: As a result of using CSR, the findings were analysed systematically and rigorously. Using multiple methods verified data and strengthened the significance of the findings. CONCLUSIONS: This paper focuses on the strengths of using the CSR methodology. CSR embraces qualitative Research methods in a rigorous and systematic manner. CSR has been applied to one example of Research, addressing each step of the Research protocol to use CSR to its full potential. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE/Research: CSR enables real-life settings to be studied systematically and rigorously, offering examples of practice in nursing and education.
