Abstract

Case study completion should be seen merely as an interaction process, where many actions take place before the actual empirical data is gathered and analysed, and where previous research plays a key role. Systematic and well-planned data-gathering is at the heart of the process. It is illustrated here that case methodology references only change very slowly, if at all: two studies from the 1980s are still considered to be key methodological sources today. However, some new additions have appeared in the last two decades.
