RES702 Topics and Application in Case Study Design
The purpose of this course is to investigate the logic, methods, and practice of case study research. To gain an understanding of case study research, course participants will explore its positioning among other social science research methods, especially in the qualitative domain, and build a critical knowledge base of business research that utilizes case-study design. Toward this end, students will examine the types of questions that can be answered appropriately with case study research and learn about case study design. Students will also learn about both case study data collection and data analysis and relate it specifically to their topic and research questions. Moreover, students will learn about the structure of writing their case study findings and will consider the ways researcher positionality impacts the research process and outcomes. Of note, the student will undergo CITI training during this course.
