Extend your knowledge and explore a growing field with SAGE Reference’s Encyclopedia of Case Study Research

Los Angeles, London, New Delhi, Singapore, and Washington D.C. (November 5, 2009) Case study research has a long history within the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities, dating back to the early 1920s. Today, case study research appears in any field where scholars want to examine phenomena in context, and it is especially valuable in practice-oriented fields such as education, management, and the human services.

SAGE Reference’s unprecedented, new, two-volume Encyclopedia of Case Study Research is the first available resource to present a comprehensive overview of design and methods in case study research. Written by leading researchers in the field, the highly accessible, A-to-Z entries examine the full range of methodological issues encountered in doing case study research and explores both the strengths and weaknesses of different paradigmatic approaches.  Key themes and topic areas include:

• Academic Disciplines
• Case Study Research Design
• Conceptual Issues
• Data Analysis
• Data Collection
• Methodological Approaches
• Theoretical Traditions
• Theory Development and Contributions From Case Study Research
• Types of Case Study Research

Using case studies as part of a multi-method research program and evaluating the quality of research design and results are also discussed at length.

All public and academic libraries will want to order SAGE’s new Encyclopedia of Case Study Research so students, researchers, and professionals have access to the most comprehensive and in-depth resource on the topic.
