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

This book focuses by Robert K. Yin on case study design and analysis as a distinct research tool with wide applicability. It has now been carefully revised, updated, and expanded to include a discussion of the debate in evaluation between qualitative and quantitative research, more on the role of theory in doing good case studies, more extensive discussion of triangulation as a rationale for multiple sources of evidence, and an examination of program logic models as another analytic option. In addition, the text contains many topical examples, including ones dealing with international trade and the world economy. Despite these revisions, this second edition retains virtually all the original text, making it an even more comprehensive introduction to the field.

The SAGE Handbook of Applied Social Research Methods

• Leonard Bickman - Vanderbilt University, USA and Florida International University, USA
• Debra J. Rog - Westat, Inc.
• Description

The Second Edition of The SAGE Handbook of Applied Social Research Methods provides students and researchers with the most comprehensive resource covering core methods, research designs, and data collection, management, and analysis issues. This thoroughly revised edition continues to place critical emphasis on finding the tools that best fit the research question given the constraints of deadlines, budget, and available staff. Each chapter offers guidance on how to make intelligent and conscious tradeoffs so that one can refine and hone the research question as new knowledge is gained, unanticipated obstacles are encountered, or contextual shifts take place.

Each chapter has been enhanced pedagogically to include more step-by-step procedures, more practical examples from various settings to illustrate the method, parameters to define when the method is most appropriate and when it is not appropriate. The editors also include numerous graphs, models, tip boxes to provide teaching and learning tools.

Key Features of the Second Edition

• Emphasizes applying research techniques, particularly in "real-world" settings in which there are various data, money, time, and political constraints
• Contains new chapters on mixed methods, qualitative comparative analysis, concept mapping, and internet data collection
• Offers a newly developed section that serves as a guide for students who are attempting to translate the content in the chapters into action

Intended Audience

This Handbook is appropriate for introductory and intermediate research methods courses that focus intently on practical applications and a survey of the many methods available to budding researchers.

“Updating their one-volume handbook (1 st ed., 1998) describing approaches, design, and data collecting methods that are useful in conducting social research, editors Bickman and Rog in this second edition include chapters on the increasing use of the Internet, computer-assisted research methods, and the use of “mixed methods,” combining qualitative and quantitative methods. Over 30 authors from academic institutions, government agencies, and the private sector, representing various social science disciplines, contributed to this resource for research methods that can be applied in social science disciplines such as education, geography, political science, and sociology.”

"Rarely is a text able to succinctly and effectively appeal to a wide variety of practitioners from all areas of social science while maintaining a practical and easily accessible tone. However, this is exactly what I found when I read the second edition of The Sage Handbook of Applied Social Research Methods."

• Twenty core chapters written by research experts that cover major methods and data analysis issues across the social and behavioral sciences, education, and management.
• Emphasis on applying research techniques, particularly in "real-world" settings in which there are various data, money, time, and political constraints.
• New chapters on mixed methods, qualitative comparative analysis, concept mapping, and internet data collection.
• A newly developed section that serves as a guide for students who are navigating through the book and attempting to translate the chapters into action.
