very thoruogh introduction
Very good introduction to Case Study design. I have used case study approach for my PhD study. I would recommend this book for an indepth understanding of case study design for research projects.
Dr Siew Lee School of Nursing, Midwifery and Paramedic Practice Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen.
The book is a really good introduction to case study research and is full of useful examples. I will recommend as the definitive source for students interested in pursuing this further in their projects.
In our Doctor of Ministerial Leadership (DML), Case Study is the Methodology that is required in this program. Robert Yin's book provides the foundational knowledge needed to conduct research using his Case Study design.

Cross-cohort comparative analysis in the British cohort studies
22 May 2024, 12:00 pm–1:00 pm
Join this event to hear David Bann and Liam Wright explore some methods for comparative research with the British cohort studies.
This event is free.
Event Information
Availability.
This webinar focuses on conducting cross-study comparisons across time, in the British birth cohorts and other datasets and provides insights into the benefits and importance of conducting cross-study comparisons in the social and health sciences – offering guidance and suggestions on methodological issues and other considerations.
The speakers will briefly discuss the opportunities of cross-study comparison research, and emphasise key areas to consider including target populations, measurement, harmonisation and interpretation.
The guidance offered applies when using any of the CLS cohorts or similar studies. This online webinar will be followed by a Q&A, with a recording published on the CLS YouTube channel after the event.
This online event will be particularly useful for early career researchers.

the case study as a single case that is closely associated with the comparative method, as contrasted with experimental and statistical methods.

a case study method. In essence, Yin views the goal of case studies as understanding complex social phenomena, and real-life events such as organizational and managerial processes.

preliminary research method only appropriate in the exploratory phase of research. Yin argues that case study can be more than exploratory. In support of his argument, Yin provides examples of descriptive, explanatory, and generalizable studies from a cache of landmark case studies. For instance, Yin's synopsis of Graham Allison's (1971)
Providing a complete portal to the world of case study research, the Fourth Edition of Robert K.

The types of case study and related approaches that were used to guide the design decisions are also presented. A definition of comparative case studies with related strengths and limitations precedes the brief introduction of Yin's complex case study and Fraenkel and Wallen's description of features of comparative case study.
This paper describes building theories from. case studies. Several aspects of this process are discussed in the literature. For example, Glaser and Strauss (1967) detailed a comparative method for developing grounded theory, Yin (1981, 1984) described the design of case study research, and Miles and Huberman (1984) codi-.
The definition above is an example of an all-inclusive descriptive definition of case study research represented by Yin (2003).According to the definition of case study research, there is no doubt that this research strategy is one of the most powerful methods used by researchers to realize both practical and theoretical aims.

Single case studies are most common in case study researches. Yin (2014, p. 59) says that single cases are 'eminently justifiable' under certain conditions: (a) when the case under study is unique or atypical, and hence, its study is revelatory, (b) when the case is used to test a hypothesis and (c) when the case under investigation is the ...

It is essential to divorce the phenomenon of interest from the context in order to gain analytical purchase. ... YIN, Robert. Case Study Research: design and methods . 5 ...
In order to make clear to which type of case study the introduced methods of knowledge integration should be applied, we will briefly describe different types of case studies.

The major advantage of multiple case research lies in cross-case analysis. A multiple case research design shifts the focus from understanding a single case to the differences and similarities between cases. Thus, it is not just conducting more (second, third, etc.) case studies. Rather, it is the next step in developing a theory about factors ...
Yin [19] defines a case study in term of two attributes: (i) scope; and (ii) features.
