ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the usefulness of a multi-case approach in PM research. It highlights the benefits multi-case research can bring in terms of extendibility and more robust theory. It presents popular approaches to multi-case research and focuses on the role of inductive and deductive case analysis within these processes. It raises some of the pragmatic issues, especially the resource needs, which researchers can encounter when adopting this type of approach. It concludes by presenting a case of its own, the MEGAPROJECT research investigation. This exemplifies the chapter’s learning and allows the reader to compare the issues found in this case with his or her own experience.
