Alternate Approaches to Integrating Longitudinal Case Studies
提出三种整合和比较纵向案例研究的方法,并介绍一套诊断数据集以选择最佳整合方法的比较工具,适合管理学和案例研究者参考。
In dealing with a large set of longitudinal case studies, researchers often assume that they can and should seek a single set of variables and explanatory theory to deal similarly with all the cases. This paper describes three approaches to the problems of cross-case integration and comparison. It also describes a set of comparative methods that can be used to diagnose case-study data-sets, to see which integrative approach is best.
