Case Study Research: Design and Methods (Applied Social Research Methods)

A solid, yet accessible book written by a researcher that everyone ELSE seems to cite as the authority on case study research. Well worth the purchase. Surprise! Case studies can be qualitative, quantitative, or mixed!I enjoyed being able to listen to the book while I drove. The text-to-speech function is not nearly as good as professional narration, but comes in handy when you want to listen & drive.My dissertation will be a study of multiple cases, and I intend to revisit Yin's book to guide me.

Getting into research for the first time and had difficulties getting institutional review board's approval to green light my study. This book helped tremendously with understanding conceptual framework and providing insight on how to validate research findings. Earlier editions definitely did not provide explanations as clear as the ones presented in this edition. I highly recommend the Kindle version so that you can just search up keywords. Explanations throughout this book seems to have sifted out a lot of jargon and reading it doesn't feel as patronizing as similar texts by other authors.

Yin is very systematic in his approach to case study research, and this can be very helpful to those learning this. His book is easy to read, and he provides examples and exercises to complete.

Purchased to help think through my dissertation proposal. Yin provides a thoughtful overview of case study methodology, including attention to both larger considerations of using case study findings to further analytic generalizations and to the step-by-step details of doing case study research. If you are serious about doing case study research, I recommend reading this book along with Cresswell's "Qualitative Inquiry and Research Design: Choosing Among Five Approaches" and Stake's "Multiple Case Study Analysis."

I purchased this book for my graduate classes and it is priceless. I have since shared it with several of my graduate school classmates... Yin is the guru on this subject. As a graduate student, I would highly encourage that this text be added to your library.

I have enjoyed reading Yin's 5th edition on case study research. I am a 5th year PhD student employing a case study design in my dissertation research, and I found it particularly helpful in writing my proposal/prospectus for my research. My research is qualitative and I found Merriam and Tisdel's "Qualitative Research" book to be a good complimentary read.

This book arrived in great condition, and fast! This edition was an easy read and very digestible. I got through it in a week's time. Highly recommend if you are considering Case Study as a research method.

Buenas tardes:He recibido el libro, el cual compre porque es nuevo es decir sin haber sido utilizado, sin embargo me he dado cuenta que tiene varios textos resaltados con una raya o círculo (varias páginas). No es hecho por un lapicero o lápiz es impreso.¿No se supone que el libro era nuevo?
