In our Doctor of Ministerial Leadership (DML), Case Study is the Methodology that is required in this program. Robert Yin's book provides the foundational knowledge needed to conduct research using his Case Study design.
NEW TO THIS EDITION:
- Includes 11 in-depth applications that show how researchers have implemented case study methods successfully.

- Discusses synthesizing findings across case studies in a multiple-case study in more detail.
- Adds an expanded list of 15 fields that have text or texts devoted to case study research.

- the difference between case-based and variable-based approaches to designing and analyzing case studies; and
- the relationship between case study research and qualitative research.
KEY FEATURES:
- Numerous conceptual exercises, illustrative exhibits, vignettes, and a glossary make the book eminently accessible.
- Boxes throughout offer more in-depth real-world examples of research.
