Zahra Amelia Djuhair's List: Case study

• Select the cases and determine data gathering and analysis techniques
• extend experience or add strength  to what is already known through previous research

  • The purpose and benefit of doing case study. This may save time into more meaningful and straightforward result from the experts and practitionrs' points of view.
• contextual analysis

  • So, case study is part of contextual analysis family, therefore is a qualitative method.
• Social scientists, in particular, have made wide use of this qualitative  research method to examine contemporary real-life situations and provide the basis  for the application of ideas and extension of methods

  • This is the practical reality at social studies researcher do their case studies.
• Researcher Robert K. Yin  defines the case study research method as an empirical inquiry that investigates  a contemporary phenomenon within its real-life context; when the boundaries between  phenomenon and context are not clearly evident; and in which multiple sources  of evidence are used (Yin, 1984, p. 23)

  • This is the supporting opinion from a scholar for the previous premise.
• Critics of the case study method  believe that the study of a small number of cases can offer no grounds for establishing  reliability or generality of findings. Others feel that the intense exposure to  study of the case biases the findings. Some dismiss case study research as useful  only as an exploratory tool. Yet researchers continue to use the case study research  method with success in carefully planned and crafted studies of real-life situations,  issues, and problems. Reports on case studies from many disciplines are widely  available in the literature.

  • Answering the cons against case study method implementation in doing research.
• an example case study project designed to  examine how one set of users, non-profit organizations, make use of an electronic  community network

  • This is the case study example here.
• The study examines the issue of whether or not the electronic  community network is beneficial in some way to non-profit organizations and what  those benefits might be

  • This is an example of research topic.
• Robert  E. Stake, Helen Simons, and Robert K. Yin have written about case study research  and suggested techniques for organizing and conducting the research successfully

  • The people who have worked on case studies techniques.
• six  steps

  • Six steps proposed for a good case study research
• Determine and define the research questions

  • This is the 1st step: I must have done this: In what degree web-based software applications and their combination in order to fulfill and balance the tailor needs for virtual team and mini temporary intranet using proliferate and non-proprietary or open source resources.
• Select the cases and determine data gathering and analysis techniques
