BUSI 830 LUO Research Methods and Consulting Case Study

 

OVERVIEW
Each qualitative design is slightly different from the others; these differences are important for
researchers to consider when selecting a design that is most appropriate for exploring their
research problem. As this course deals with a case study design, this project begins to focus on
the case study research methodology via an overview of a ‘plan’ for a Case Study and explores
the design phase of case study research.
