    This document provides an overview of case study research. It discusses the history and definitions of case studies, how to select cases, their key characteristics, purposes, types, and how to plan a case study. Some main points covered include: - Case studies originated in the early 20th century as a social science research method and involve an in-depth analysis of a single or small number of cases. - Case selection depends on the research question and may involve extreme, critical, or paradigmatic cases. Characteristics of good case studies include clearly defined boundaries and the use of multiple sources of evidence. - Purposes can include preliminary investigations, in-depth analysis, providing anecdotal evidence, refuting

    Some of the key takeaways from the document are that case studies originated in the early 20th century as a research approach, and can be used to gain an in-depth understanding of a phenomenon in its real-life context. Case studies allow researchers to ask questions about how, why, what and other aspects of a case.

    Some of the different types of case studies mentioned are historical case studies, observational case studies, oral histories, situational analyses, and clinical/multi-case studies.

    The purposes of conducting a case study mentioned are that they can act as preliminaries to major investigations, allow for an in-depth analysis of a unit/phenomenon, provide anecdotal evidence, refute generalizations, be preferred when behaviors cannot be manipulated, and be valuable as a unique case.

    CASE STUDY

    HISTORY OF CASE STUDY


    As a distinct approach to research, use of the case study
    originated only in the early 20th century. The Oxford
    English Dictionary traces the phrase case study or
    case-study back as far as 1934, influenced by the much
    older concept of a case history in medicine.
    The use of case studies for the creation of new theory in
    social sciences has been further developed by the
    sociologists Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss who
    presented their research method, Grounded theory, in
    1967.

    INTRODUCTION OF CASE
    STUDY
    Case study refers to the collection and presentation of
    detailed information about a particular participant or small
    group, frequently including the accounts of subjects
    themselves.
    Another suggestion is that case study should be
    defined as a research strategy, an empirical inquiry
    that investigates a phenomenon within its real-life
    context. Case study research means single and
    multiple case studies, can include quantitative
    evidence, relies on multiple sources of evidence
    and benefits from the prior development of
    theoretical propositions.

    Case study is used to gain in depth understanding


    replete with meaning for the subject, focusing on process
    rather than outcome, on discovery rather than
    confirmation. The case study is the prefered strategy
    when, how, who, why, or what questions are being
    asked, or when thecontrol investigator has little control
    over events, or when the focus is on a contemporary
    phenomenon within a real life context.

    DEFINITIONS OF CASE STUDY


    According to Bogdan and Bikien (1982 ) case
    study is a detail testing of certain problems.
    According to Surachrnad (1982 ) case study is
    an approach that focuses on an intensive and
    detail case.
    According Ary, Jacobs, dan Razavieh ( 1985 ),
    Case study is a research which the researcher
    tries to test an unit intensively and tries to find
    whole important variables.

    CASE SELECTION
    Yin (2005) suggested that researchers should decide
    whether to do single-case or multiple-case studies and
    chose to keep the case holistic or have embedded subcases. This two-by-two combination can produce four
    basic designs for case studies.
    When selecting a case for a case study, researchers
    often use information-oriented sampling , as opposed
    to random sampling.

    Three types of informationoriented cases may be


    distinguished :

    1. Extreme or deviant
    cases
    2. Critical cases
    3. Paradigmatic cases

    Critical case
    A critical case can be defined as
    having strategic importance in relation
    to the general problem

    CHARACTERISTIC OF CASE
    STUDY
    The Characteristic of good case study :
    a. Concerning corker, related to public interest or even
    b.

    c.

    with importance of national


    Its boundarys can be determined clearly, this
    equipment is also shown by and deepness broadness
    of data dug by researcher.
    Can anticipate various answer alternative and
    viewpoint which different each other is

    d.Case study can show just top-drawer


    evidence, both for supporting researcher
    view and also which do not base prince
    select vitas
    e. Its result iss written with interesting style
    so that can communications at reader

    Developing a Case Study


    1. All data about the case is gathered.
    2. Data is organized into an approach to
    highlight the focus of the study.
    3. A case study narrative is developed.
    The narrative is a highly readable story that
    integrates and summarizes key information
    around the focus of the case study.

    4. The narrative might be validated by review from


    program participants.
    5. Case studies might be cross-compared to isolate any
    themes or patterns.

    Design case study


    Typically, research designs deal with at
    least four problems:
    1. What questions to study
    2. What data are relevant
    3. What data to collect
    4. How to analyze that data

    However, Robert K. Yin (1993) does offer five


    basic components of a research design:
    A study's questions.
    A study's propositions .
    A study's units of analysis.
    The logic linking of the data to the propositions.
    The criteria for interpreting the findings

    PURPOSES OF THE CASE


    STUDY
    There are some purposes of the case study are :
    Firstly, they are very valuable as premliminaries
    to major investigation.
    secondly, observation case studies may have
    the aim of probing deeply and analysing
    intensively the multifarious phenomena that
    constitute the life cycle of the unit, with a view to
    establishing generalisations about the wider
    population to which the units belong

    thirdly, a case study may provide anecdotal


    evidence that illustrates more general findings
    fourthly, a case study may refute a universal
    generalisation..
    fifthly, a case study is preferred when the
    relevant behaviours cannot be manipulated.
    finnaly, a case study may be valuable in its
    own right as a unique case.

    TYPES OF CASE STUDY

    Historical case studies


    Observational case studies
    Oral history
    Situational analysis
    Clinical case studies
    Multi- case studies

    PLANNING THE CASE STUDY


    In case studies there are four main components
    to the research design :
    1. Initial case study question
    2. Study preposition
    3. Unit of analysis
    4. Linking Data
