What is case-based research design?

Case-based research design is a research approach that involves the in-depth exploration and analysis of one or more specific cases. It is a qualitative research method that focuses on understanding the complexities and nuances of a particular phenomenon by examining it in detail within its context.

The cases can be individuals, organizations, events, or situations, and the research design typically involves collecting and analyzing multiple sources of data, such as archival records, interviews, observations, and documents.

The goal of case-based research is to develop holistic and comprehensive explanations of the phenomena under study, with the aim of generating new insights and theories about the topic. It is common in fields such as psychology, sociology, anthropology, and business management.
