A good text, but the students struggled with the concepts
This book is of great interest to any student considering possibilities of case studies. Its excellent reading in general, however gives a cutting edge to students pursing qualitative studies namely case studies.
Useful case study approach which many accounting students can use effectively to stimulate their research projects.
a useful text for general business students.
A useful text to get students started on the strategic project.
This is an excellent introduction for the novice and very refreshing for the experienced researcher. Easy to read and much food for thought!
This is a great text for case study research. It offers a perfect blend of literature and explanation. It is a must for all students who are introduced to case study research for the first time. It offers a strong step by step approach to cases which I feel this text does more than any other book. the level of analysis is not as strong as other texts, but suitable for both post graduate and undergraduate students.
Students seem to be increasingly wanting to use case studies in their research. This book shows them how to do this properly.
