Summary

Case study research is a method used in management and marketing. It discusses how to test the validity and reliability of the data gathered in case studies.

Case Studies in Marketing

Case study research is used in marketing. It can be used to develop and build theory. It has advantages but also doubts about its reliability and validity.

Theoretical Paradigms

Four different research methodologies are described: positivism, realism, critical theory, and constructivism. Case studies often compare theoretical constructs with empirical results.

Design Tests for Quality

Several tests can establish quality in case study research. These include defining research scope, comparing evidence with existing literature, and ensuring congruence between research issues and study design.

Techniques to Increase Reliability

Techniques to increase reliability include giving a full account of theories, recording observations concretely, and using a structured case study protocol. Pilot studies can also refine the case study protocol.
