Robert K. Yin. (2014). Case Study Research Design and Methods (5th ed.). Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage. 282 pages

2016, The Canadian Journal of Program Evaluation

Case Study Research Design and Methods (2014) is currently in its fi ft h edition and continues to be a seminal text for researchers and students engaged in case study research. Since the book's fi rst release 30 years ago (1984), case study research has gained considerable acceptance as a research method, likely a result of Yin's unyielding position that case study be considered a separate and all-encompassing method with its own research design. Th is current edition of the book is heavily infl uenced by the advances in case study research and remains a defi nitive guide on how to design more rigorous and methodologically sound case studies that will stand up to questions of validity and reliability. Importantly, Yin manages to link theory and practice by presenting the breadth of case study research and its historical signifi cance at a practical level. It is Yin's view that, when "the process has been given careful attention, the potential result is the production of a high-quality case study" (p. 199). Th us, a comprehensive and systematic outline for undertaking the design and conduct of a case study is presented in a very straightforward and readable manner throughout the book's 282 pages. Ultimately, Yin argues that case study research is a challenging endeavour that hinges upon the researcher's skills and expertise. As such, this edition includes more diffi cult concepts to guide researchers and students in the work of carrying out more rigorous case study research, thereby retaining Yin's ultimate goal "to improve our social science methods and practices over those of previous generations of scholars" (p. xxvi). Building on the key strengths of earlier editions, the book's crisp structure has benefi ted from numerous editions with reviewer feedback, and it continues to serve as an exemplar for other methodological guides. Th e book shows the case study research process as a "linear but iterative process" (p. xxii) and provides practical and technical discussions on each of the six elements of case study research: the plan, design, preparation, data collection, analysis and reporting. Each of these features forms the topic of the book's six chapters and together are represented by an overarching six-circled visual display. For those researchers interested in going a little deeper into some elements, Yin also provides practical exercises with challenging methodological questions or situations that can be addressed. Th rough these structural features, as well as the book's enhanced headings and subheadings, numerous supporting resources, and the excellent cross-referenced index in Appendix C, Yin makes a complex methodology much more approachable.

The Canadian Journal of Action Research, 2013

In his fourth edition of Case Study Research Design and Methods, Robert K. Yin continues to encourage the formation of better case study research. The text provides a technical yet practical guide to aid the committed researcher. It is an effort to promote rigor and to encourage the recognition of the limitations and awareness of the strengths of case study research. Throughout the text, Yin forthrightly addressed criticisms of the method and provided a solid defense of case study research and its breadth as a research method. An unexpected bonus of the text is found in the cross reference table that provides access to a wealth of classic and contemporary case study research.

Evaluation and Program Planning, 1986

Position paper published in 2010 for my PhD coursework.

Case study methodology has a relatively long history within the sciences, social sciences, and humanities. Dating back to medical research in the early 1930s and the advent of the case history, case study research was initially viewed as useful for assisting researchers in making valid inferences from events outside the lab in ways yet consistent with the rigorous methodology of laboratory science. As such, it gained in importance as a research strategy for identifying rich sources of data, developing into a technique that combines both qualitative and quantitative research. Although initially rooted within a sciences approach, the case study gained even wider popularity within the social sciences and has been found to be especially valuable in such practice-oriented fields as education, management, public administration, and the human services.
