Audience:
Qualitative case study research has been traditionally viewed as a methodology of choice for scholars in business and management disciplines. While this methodology is characterized by paradigmatic diversity, it has often been reduced to a single template that limits its theorising potential.
The purpose of this participant-driven taster session is to unpack the theorising potential of qualitative case study research. We will discuss issues that IB/IM scholars encounter when planning, conducting and writing qualitative case study research. The seminar is participant-led and the speaker will address attendees’ questions. These questions can cover various aspects of case study design including paradigmatic diversity of case research, case selection, writing the case, publishing case study research etc.
Benefits of participating in this online taster session include; improved understanding of qualitative case study research, improved understanding of case study practice and advanced publication skills
