Evidence analysis in Case Study Research

The following main points are identified on Evidence Analysis in Case Study Research:

  1. Primary analysis modes
    • Pattern-matching [to strengthen the internal validity of analysis]
    • Explanation-building [to stipulate a set of causal links]
    • Time-series analysis [to develop and justify the conclusions of the study]
  2. Secondary analysis modes
    • Embedded units analysis
    • Repeated observations [both on a cross-sectional basis and over time]
    • Analysis across cases
