The reputation of case study research has grown as a research strategy for developing theories and as a method for investigating and understanding world complex issues. The purpose of this chapter is to demonstrate how the case study research can add value to a research project. Case study research, although becoming increasingly popular is not adequately utilised in information science research. The chapter draws on the literature on case study research in various fields and uses examples to inform research in information science. Case study research have been used across a number of disciplines, particularly, in the social sciences, education and business to address real world problems. Many researchers tend to use case study research because of the numerous advantages it offers. For instance, the employment of multiple data collection instruments maximises the depth of information, which in turn increases transferability of the findings. Additionally, the use of multiple cases and multiple data collection instruments make generalisation easy and valid. Maximising generalisability of findings is the ultimate goal of research.

Indisputably, networking offers many benefits in business. However, at the same time, it may also restrict the freedom of its actors. The aim of the paper is to complement the knowledge on the benefits and delimitations of networking by a two-step process. Firstly, the actors’ aims for independency and associability in their business relations are examined and based on these aims, different tendencies for networking are found. Furthermore, the paper discusses the resource portfolios of actors, and searches linkages between the actors’ resources and their networking tendencies. The research question of the paper is: “How the resource portfolio of an actor correlates with its tendency to form networks?” Case study research is used as the research strategy. A group of Finnish biomass heating enterprises is studied as the case, and four groups with different networking tendencies are recognized and further assessed. The results provide evidence that the actors tend to form different networks which differ from each other by the power relations and the openness of sharing social capital. In addition, it is noted that the actors differ in their resource portfolios. That creates dissimilar motives for cooperation and networking which are well-reflected with the four networking types found in the study. Key words: associability, bioenergy, independency,networking, resources.

Qualitative Methodologies

Data collection is a critical aspect of any research. To this point, it is very important that a researcher has a good understanding of why, where and how to collect data. Broadly speaking, there are two main research and data collection approaches; namely, quantitative and qualitative methodologies. These two approaches are used both in academia and professional domains. This study focuses on philosophical assumptions underpinning Information Systems (IS) research. The philosophical assumptions underlying interpretive, case study research tradition and approach implies a subjective epistemology and the ontological belief that reality is socially constructed. The study investigated the challenges of interpretive, case study research strategy and empirical techniques applied in the information systems discipline. This paper focuses on the realistic challenges that researchers face while conducting a qualitative, interpretive, case study, particularly during data collection.

This study aims to  examine and find out the implementation of Permendagri No. 113 of 2014 in Ngesrepbalong Village, Limbangan, Kendal Regency and  analyze the obstacles faced by village officials in its implementation.This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study research strategy. Data obtained through interviews and documentation studies.The results of the study show the Implementation of Permendagri No. 113 of 2014 in Ngesrepbalong Village can generally be seen from the following findings: Fund allocation is not appropriate in accordance with the provisions;  There is a discrepancy between the list of program activities that have been agreed upon in the village meeting with the details of the activities contained in the RKP table; There is an RKP that does not include a discussion on the evaluation of the previous year's financial use;  in the aspect of transparency, the Village Government has implemented it by informing the allocation of funds and the development of their use on information boards in the village office. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji dan mengetahui implementasi Permendagri No 113 tahun 2014 di Desa Ngesrepbalong Kecamatan Limbangan Kabupaten Kendal dan menganalisis kendala yang dihadapi aparatur desa dalam pelaksanaannya.Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan strategi penelitian studi kasus. Data yang diperoleh melalui wawancara dan studi dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan Implementasi Permendagri No 113 tahun 2014 di Desa Ngesrepbalong dapat dilihat dari temuan berikut ini:  Pengalokasian dana tidak tepat sesuai dengan ketentuan; Adanya ketidaksesuaian antara daftar program kegiatan yang telah disepakai dalam musyawarah desa dengan rincian kegiatan yang ada dalam tabel RKP; Terdapat RKP yang tidak mencantumkan pembahasan mengenai evaluasi penggunaan keuangan tahun sebelumnya; pada aspek trasnparansi, Pemerintah Desa telah melaksanakannya dengan menginformasikan pengalokasian dana dan perkembangan penggunaannya pada papan informasi di kantor desa.

<p>The existence of various problems in the implementation of zakat management in the zakat organizations originated from the problem concerning some things called the principles of good governance. So to overcome the problems is by strengthening those principles. This study aims to describe the principles of good governance in the zakat management of Baitul Mal Central Aceh District on Qardhawi perspective. The analysis method used is descriptive-qualitative, with case study research strategy. Data collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results show that the principles of shariah, trust, equity, and participation have been going well, but the shariah principle implementation becomes constrained when facing the mechanism of zakat as Regional Original Revenue. Principles of accountability and transparancy have been implemented, but still do not use a more adequate system. Furthermore, the zakat management is still inefficient because amil funds still exceed the provisions, and also there is no amil standarization regarding the relevant educational background with zakat to support the zakat management professionally.</p>

Emergent Theory

Theory building from case studies is a research strategy that combines grounded theory building with case studies. Its purpose is to develop novel, accurate, parsimonious, and robust theory that emerges from and is grounded in data. Case research is well-suited to address “big picture” theoretical gaps and dilemmas, particularly when existing theory is inadequate. Further, this research strategy is particularly useful for answering questions of “how” through its deep and longitudinal immersion in a focal phenomenon. The process of conducting case study research includes a thorough literature review to identify an appropriate and compelling research question, a rigorous study design that involves artful theoretical sampling, rich and complete data collection from multiple sources, and a creative yet systematic grounded theory building process to analyze the cases and build emergent theory about significant phenomena. Rigorous theory building case research is fundamentally centered on strong emergent theory with precise theoretical logic and robust grounding in empirical data. Not surprisingly then, theory building case research is disproportionately represented among the most highly cited and award-winning research.

Study Type

A case study is one of the most commonly used methodologies of social research. This article attempts to look into the various dimensions of a case study research strategy, the different epistemological strands which determine the particular case study type and approach adopted in the field, discusses the factors which can enhance the effectiveness of a case study research, and the debate surrounding the role of a case study in generating theoretical propositions with broader applicability. The prime focus of this article is to engage the reader with the intention of stimulating them to contribute their own bit, in order to add greater novelty and freshness to the methodology of case study.
