STAGES IN CASE
STUDY
Collect Data Describe
and Analyze
 Step 1: Select a case
Once you have developed your problem statement and 
research questions, you should be ready to choose the
specific case that you want to focus on. A good case study
should have the potential to:
• Provide new or unexpected insights into the subject
• Propose practical courses of action to resolve a problem
 Step 2: Build a theoretical framework
• Case studies focus more on concrete details.
• Your theoretical framework defines the key concepts in
your research, suggests relationships between them, and
discusses relevant theories based on your literature review
.
 Step 3: Collect your data
• There are many different research methods you can use to 
collect data on your subject.
• Case studies tend to focus on qualitative data using
methods such as interviews, observations, and analysis of 
primary and secondary sources.
 Step 4: Describe and analyze the case
• How you report your findings depends on the type of
research you are doing. Some case studies are structured
like a standard scientific paper or thesis, with separate
sections or chapters for the methods, results and discussion.
• Others are written in a more narrative style, aiming to
explore the case from various angles and analyze its
meanings
