    A case study is a report about a person, group, or situation that has been studied to describe behaviors or examine situations in specific times and places. Case studies can involve qualitative and quantitative research methods. There are different types of case studies including illustrative case studies that describe situations, exploratory case studies used before large investigations, cumulative case studies that aggregate past studies, and critical instance case studies that examine unique situations or challenge generalizations.

    CASE STUDY

    a.) What is a case study?


    A case study is a report about a person, group, or situation that has been
    studied. If the case study, for instance, is about a group, it describes the
    behavior of the group as a whole, not the behavior of each individual in the
    group.
    Case studies can be produced by following a formal research method. These
    case studies are likely to appear in formal research venues, as journals and
    professional conferences, rather than popular works. The resulting body of 'case
    study research' has long had a prominent place in many disciplines and
    professions, ranging from psychology, anthropology, sociology, and political
    science to education, clinical science, social work, and administrative science.
    In doing case study research, the "case" being studied may be an individual,
    organization, event, or action, existing in a specific time and place. For instance,
    clinical science has produced both well-known case studies of individuals and
    also case studies of clinical practices. However, when "case" is used in an
    abstract sense, as in a claim, a proposition, or an argument, such a case can be
    the subject of many research methods, not just case study research. Case
    studies may involve both qualitative and quantitative research methods.
    Case studies in research may be mistaken for the case method used in teaching.
    b.)What are the types of case studies?
    In public-relations research, three types of case studies are used:

    Linear
    Process-oriented
    Grounded

    Under the more generalized category of case study exist several subdivisions,
    each of which is custom selected for use depending upon the goals and/or
    objectives of the investigator.
    These types of case study include the following:
    1.)Illustrative case studies. These are primarily descriptive studies. They
    typically utilize one or two instances of an event to show the existing
    situation. Illustrative case studies serve primarily to make the unfamiliar
    familiar and to give readers a common language about the topic in question.
    2.)Exploratory (or pilot) case studies. These are condensed case studies
    performed before implementing a large scale investigation. Their basic
    function is to help identify questions and select types of measurement prior
    to the main investigation. The primary pitfall of this type of study is that
    initial findings may seem convincing enough to be released prematurely as
    conclusions.
    3.)Cumulative case studies. These serve to aggregate information from
    several sites collected at different times. The idea behind these studies is the
    collection of past studies will allow for greater generalization without
    additional cost or time being expended on new, possibly repetitive studies.
    4.)Critical instance case studies. These examine one or more sites for either
    the purpose of examining a situation of unique interest with little to no
    interest in generalization, or to call into question or challenge a highly
    generalized or universal assertion. This method is useful for answering cause
    and effect questions.
