A popular template for building theory from case studies is a paper by Eisenhardt (1989). It follows a dramaturgy with a precise order of single steps for constructing a case study and is one of the most cited papers in methods sections (Ravenswood 2011). This is impressive for two reasons. On the one hand, Eisenhardt herself has provided a broader...
Contrary to “No Theory First”, case study research design can also aim at specifying gaps or holes in existing theory with the ultimate goal of advancing theoretical explanations (Ridder 2016). A well-known template for this case study research design is the book by Yin (2014). It is a method-orientated handbook of how to design single and multiple...
So far, the outlined case study research designs are based on positivist roots, but there is richness and variety in case study research stemming from different philosophical realms. The case study research design by Stake (1995, 2000, 2005), for example, is based on constructivist assumptions and aims to investigate the social construction of real...
Identifying anomalies as a basis for further research is common in management and organization research (Gilbert and Christensen 2005). In case study research, the extended case study method is used for this case study research design (Ridder 2016). Following Burawoy (1991, 1998, 2009), the research question derives from curiosity. Researchers norm...
Commonalities and differences emerged from the comparison of the designs. Table 1provides a brief summary of these main differences and the resulting portfolio of case study research designs which will be discussed in more detail. There is an extensive range between the different designs regarding the research processes. In “no theory first”, there...
