Case studies

A case study is a detailed examination of a particular subject, situation, or phenomenon within its real-life context. It involves gathering and analyzing qualitative and/or quantitative data to understand the intricacies of the case under investigation. Typically, a case study begins with an introduction that provides background information on the case, including its history and relevant contextual factors. The case itself is then described in detail, including key events, stakeholders involved, and any relevant challenges or issues. Data collection methods such as interviews, observations, or document analysis may be employed to gather information. Following the description, the case study analyzes the data to identify patterns, themes, and insights that shed light on the case's dynamics and outcomes. Finally, the case study concludes with a summary of findings, implications for theory or practice, and recommendations for future action or research.
