ABSTRACT
The Appeal Case study research is well suited to inquiries into “processes and relationships” (Denscombe, 2007: 38) and to broad research questions. Case study researchers “recognize the complexity and ‘embeddedness’ of social truths” (Adelman et al., 1980: 59) and the difficulty of capturing these through controlled experiments or statistical analysis. This research approach offers the opportunity to investigate issues where they occur (naturalistic settings) and to produce descriptive and analytical accounts that invite reader judgment about their plausibility.
