Abstract

In the following, supply chain case studies that use an abnormal number of case observations in their research are introduced and analysed. New approaches will be identified to increase the number of cases, which can be put towards building future research projects. Case-rich studies stress the importance of data-gathering approaches and data storage methods. From a branch development perspective, it can be seen that food industry studies seem to frequently use case-rich studies.
