Scientist-artist collaborations have become a high-profile form of science communication as scientists seek creative ways to connect with publics. This qualitative case study examines one such collaboration from the perspective of scientist and artist participants’ experiences with the purpose and meaning of art. To do so, we draw on John Dewey’s concept of art as experience and Nigel Thrift and other nonrepresentational theorists’ emphasis on overlooked backgrounds that suffuse daily life. We find that sci-art creators see inherent beauty in research, seek to foreground their underappreciated objects of study, and harbor mostly instrumental goals for educating publics through their artwork.

In this article I present brand-centred control as a new form of normative control and examine the ways in which it affects employees. To do so, I draw on the results of a qualitative case study of a consumer products company with a strong corporate culture and brand, and examine internal branding as an extension of culture management. The key insights of the case study show that brand-centred control – unlike traditional normative control that typically works inside the company – also engages an external audience (customers, fans, and the wider public) as an additional source of normative control. As employees internalise the brand image of this external audience, they turn into brand representatives even in absence of face-to-face interactions with others and in their private lives. Brand-centred control thus blurs the boundaries between work and employees’ private lives in unprecedented ways. I discuss the ways in which employees respond to and resist brand-centred control and point to further research on brand-centred control as a significant new form of normative control.

The goal prompting this research was to investigate how the process of strategy formulation occurred in the "Leite" Restaurant between the years of 1882 and 2009. To do so, we used a theoretical approach for the strategy formulation process. We sought to discover the respondents' perspectives; hence, a qualitative case study was developed and identified eight key events and phases, having observed that the strategy formulation process occurred primarily through an entrepreneurial perspective with the use of deliberated strategies. Furthermore, despite the long period of existence, the company has adopted an entrepreneurial approach throughout its entire history.

Qualitative case study research can be a valuable tool for answering complex, real-world questions. This method is often misunderstood or neglected due to a lack of understanding by researchers and reviewers. This tutorial defines the characteristics of qualitative case study research and its application to a broader understanding of stuttering that cannot be defined through other methodologies. This article will describe ways that data can be collected and analyzed.
