that is typically used in qualitative research and is often applied in academic papers such as bachelor&#8217;s or master&#8217;s theses. Having <strong>originated from the social sciences<\/strong>, the case study is now used in many other fields such as economics, political science and media studies. In modern research, case studies are often combined with structured methods such as qualitative content analysis, interviews, or mixed-method approaches. Case studies are one of the most widely used research methods in academic writing, especially in essays, term papers, and theses.<\/p><p>The case study examines a<strong> specific example<\/strong> of an event or phenomenon in the real world. All relevant details of the case are thoroughly analyzed, always taking into account the surrounding context and existing theoretical frameworks. If several cases are compared with each other, this is referred to as a comparative case study or a <strong>multiple case study<\/strong>.<\/p><h2>Objectives and methods of case studies<\/h2><p>The main objective of a case study is to gain comprehensive <strong>insights into a specific phenomenon<\/strong> and to develop new solutions or perspectives. Both qualitative and quantitative methods are useful for collecting and analyzing relevant data for the case study. <strong>Organizations, people, places or events<\/strong> that offer important insights are examined.<\/p><p>Case studies allow you to <strong>analyze complex problems in detail<\/strong>, making them an indispensable tool in scientific research.<\/p><h2>Case studies: different types and approaches<\/h2><p>Depending on your research question, there are different types of case studies you can consider. Each type of case study has its own special features, and the transitions are sometimes fluid.

Decide whether your aim is <strong>exploratory (discovering), descriptive (describing) or explanatory (explaining\/justifying), or a combination of these<\/strong>, to determine your research direction. Since case studies are often associated with qualitative research, <strong>how or why questions<\/strong> are particularly suitable.<\/p><h3>Choose your case<\/h3><p>For your case study, you should of course choose an example that is <strong>relevant to your research objective<\/strong>. If you are writing about a specific company, you already have the case automatically, but events, people, places or phenomena are also suitable. To choose a suitable example, you can use the following criteria as a guide:<\/p><ul><li>Take an <strong>unusual or atypical example <\/strong>that firstly makes you curious yourself and secondly provides <strong>new insights <\/strong>into a known problem.<\/li><li>The example should <strong>critically question<\/strong> existing assumptions or theories.<\/li><li>Ideally, your case should open up <strong>new approaches <\/strong>for future research.<\/li><\/ul><h3>Link your case study to existing theories and literature<\/h3><p>Once you have defined your research objective and case for your case study, the next step is to <strong>link it to existing literature and the current state of research<\/strong>. Conduct a comprehensive <strong>literature review<\/strong> to compare your findings with relevant thematic texts.<\/p><p>To create a solid theoretical framework, draw on an <strong>appropriate theory<\/strong> that allows you to understand and explain the case in depth. When analyzing your results, you can then discuss how they behave in the context of this theory and what they say about the topic.<\/p><h3>Describe your case study<\/h3><p>Once you have finished researching existing theories and literature, start<strong> describing your case in detail.<\/strong> If it is an event, a timeline can be helpful, showing all the important events along with their causes and effects. The aim is to clearly differentiate your case study from other studies and research questions.<\/p><p>An important part of the case study is the <strong>description of the initial situation<\/strong>, the<strong> framework <\/strong>conditions and the <strong>problems to be solved<\/strong>. It is essential that your (possibly fictitious) customer recognizes themselves in the description. Be <strong>authentic<\/strong> and use the <strong>technical vocabulary of the respective industry<\/strong>. This increases the relevance of your case study.<\/p><h3>Analyze the case<\/h3><p>The final step in your case study is to comprehensively analyze the collected data. Evaluating and explaining this information will allow you to <strong>answer your research question<\/strong>. You can embed your findings in a broader theoretical context by <strong>drawing connections to existing literature and theories<\/strong> that you identified during your literature review.<\/p><p>In this section of your case study, you also explain how you analyzed the situation, <strong>what kind of strategy<\/strong> you developed and how you implemented it operationally. It is also important to mention any problems and obstacles you encountered.<\/p><h2>Analysis tools for solving a case study<\/h2><p>When working on business case studies in particular, there are a number of models, so-called <strong>frameworks<\/strong>, that can be of great help. Which framework is suitable for which problem depends on the type of case study. These can basically be divided into three categories:<\/p><p><strong>External problem<\/strong><\/p><p>This example focuses on external factors: e.g. the market environment of the company under investigation. The <em>five forces model<\/em> and the <em>PESTEL<\/em> analysis are suitable for identifying and analyzing such research areas.<\/p><p><strong>Internal problem definition<\/strong><\/p><p>Internal company issues are considered here, e.g. low employee satisfaction. The <em>value chain analysis<\/em> or the <em>BCG matrix<\/em> are suitable for such internal analyses.<\/p><p><strong>Internal and external problems<\/strong><\/p><p>Most case studies examine external and internal problems in equal measure, as mixed cases are often considered, e.g. a decline in a company&#8217;s sales.
