Research Problems

This paper urges greater recognition of the case study as a research method for information management. It acknowledges concern about the representatives of case studies but by specifying the relationships between epistemology and research methods shows that this concern is misplaced. Representatives is irrelevant for many research purposes, particularly when the distinction is made between logical and statistical inference. The validity of explanations or theory derived from case studies depends on the logic of the analysis and acknowledgement of ceteris paribus conditions, not on how typical the cases may be. Typologies of case studies have been proposed and these are considered, together with recommendations for the conduct of systematic and rigorous case study research. It is stressed that research problems should be addressed using appropriate research methods. Research of the important problems within the management area frequently demands a qualitative research approach, though it would seem that such an approach is often ignored because of a positivist research orientation. An assessment of the strengths and weakness of the case study method, which highlights its potential in the vital role of theory-building, leads to the conclusions that this method has much to commend it to information management researchers (1).

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.

The Impact

It is difficult to isolate the business contribution of IT investments, and investments related to IT standardization are no exception, as discussed in the previous chapter. In Chapter 2 literature on standard setting processes and standards was described and in Chapter 3 literature was reviewed on the impact of IT on the process performance of a firm. In this chapter the choice for the research method, as part of the research approach depicted in Chapter 1, Figure 3, will be clarified and an initial conceptual model will be composed. The research method chosen comprises both exploratory and explanatory case study research as this was considered the best way to complement theory in this underdeveloped domain of IS literature (Yin, 1994). The conceptual model integrates aspects of standardization, standards application and standards control, and relates those to the impact of IT standards used in an organization on business process performance.

Relevant Cost

Gypsum is a by-product of phosphoric acid production, which is a solid waste from the extraction of P2O5 content in phosphate rock. Gypsum can be directly sold as bulk gypsum (split off point) or furtherly processed into purified gypsum. Similarly, purified gypsum can also be furtherly processed into granulated gypsum which has the lowest water and P2O5 content. A differential analysis based on the use of relevant cost data is needed to identify alternatives that provide the greatest benefits to the company, related to alternative decisions to sell gypsum at the split-off point or to process it further. his study aims to develop a differential analysis that is used as a basis for tactical decision making related to the decision to sell gypsum products at the split-off point or to be furtherly processed into purified gypsum and/or granulated gypsum. This study uses a qualitative research approach while the research method used is a case study research method. The result shows that the decision to furtherly process gypsum into purified gypsum and granulated gypsum generates additional profit compared to selling gypsum at the split-off point. The production and sales of granulated gypsum generate the highest profit compared to purified gypsum and bulk gypsum at the split-off point

ABSTRAK Studi kasus adalah studi empiris yang menyelidiki fenomena kontemporer dalam konteks kehidupan nyata. Awalnya metode penelitian studi kasus sering digunakan pada bidang ilmu sosial. Namun seiring dengan perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan, metode studi kasus mulai digunakan pada bidang lain. Metode penelitian studi kasus adalah strategi yang tepat untuk digunakan dalam penelitian yang menggunakan pertanyaan penelitian utama “bagaimana” atau “mengapa”, diperlukan sedikit waktu untuk mengontrol peristiwa yang dipelajari, dan fokus penelitian adalah fenomena kontemporer. Dalam metode studi kasus, para peneliti fokus pada desain dan implementasi penelitian. Tujuan dari penulisan ini adalah untuk mengkaji metode penelitian studi kasus yang dirumuskan oleh Robert K. Yin dan selanjutnya melihat penerapannya dalam penelitian di bidang arsitektur dan perilaku. Pada penelitian di bidang arsitektur dan perilaku, metode studi kasus Yin ini dapat diaplikasikan walaupun secara parsial dan dapat dikombinasikan dengan metode lainnya. Penelitian bersifat kualitatif dengan kasus yang diamati meliputi kasus tunggal ataupun multi kasus yang pengamatannya berfokus kepada perilaku manusia dan seting lingkungannya. Kata kunci: arsitektur perilaku, kontemporer, studi kasus; studi perilaku, Yin ABSTRACTCase studies are empirical studies that investigate contemporary phenomena in real life contexts. Initially the case study research method was often used in the social science field. But along with the development of science, case study methods began to be used in other fields. The case study research method is the right strategy to use in research that uses the main research questions of “how” or “why”, it takes a little time to control the events being studied, and the focus of research is contemporary phenomena. In the case study method, researchers focus on the design and implementation of research. The purpose of this paper is to examine the case study research method formulated by Robert K. Yin and then look at its application in research in architecture and behavior. In research in architecture and behavior, the Yin case study method can be applied even though partially and can be combined with other methods. Qualitative research with observed cases include single or multi-case cases whose observations focus on human behavior and environmental settings. Keywords: behavioral architecture, contemporary, case study, behavioral studies, Yin

The study examines the role of Enashma traditional conflict resolution mechanism in handling conflict to maintain peace and stability. To realize the intended objectives, the study utilized case-study research approach with qualitative research method and the data were collected using observation, interview, focused-group discussion and document analysis. The data collected were analyzed and interpreted through word description and narration. According to the data obtained from the interview and focus group discussion, Enashma traditional conflict resolution mechanism has several advantages over the state law. Some of the advantages are restorative capacity, accessibility, revealing crime committed without witness and its acceptability. Paradoxically, the exclusion of women in the system, no standardized mechanism to fix payment of compensation for different conflicts, lack of supportive and strengthening measures from the government and lack of office for local elders are the major weakness of the institution as the information obtained from key informants. Therefore, the study recommended that all the stakeholders should be responsible tosolve the weakness of Enashma traditional conflict resolution mechanism in the study area.

This paper discusses the challenges of records management that arise from the use of adapted buildings as records centres in Zimbabwe, despite the advantages of using such buildings. A qualitative research approach was used as well as a case study research design. Data were collected from seven officers of the Gweru Records Centre through semi-structured interviews. Personal observation was used to triangulate findings from interviews. It was found that the use of adapted buildings as records centres was a cheaper and quicker way of establishing records centres throughout the country. However, a number of preservation, security and management challenges cropped up as the conditions of the buildings and the environment of the adapted buildings were not conducive to the proper and professional management of records. This study is important in that it explores the prospects and challenges of using adapted buildings as records centres in Zimbabwe, an area that has not been researched by many authors. This provokes archival authorities and the government to seriously consider establishing purpose-built records and archival centres.
