Practical Conclusion

Case study research in engineering design, while not as formalized and accepted as in the social sciences, is growing in popularity because of its ability to yield significant insights into how designers interact with design problems, processes, artifacts, and each other. A wealth of evidence for use in case studies exists in the form of undergraduate senior design courses, which produce documentation related to the design of new artifacts every academic semester. The resulting documentation can be effectively mined to test hypotheses about design processes and designer behaviors. In this paper, we offer an example application of how to apply case study research to a completed senior design project in order to test a theory for how designers, users, and artifacts behave as a complex adaptive system. The evidence from the case study supports the descriptive power of the theoretical framework and supports the practical conclusion that effective communication between designers and users is particularly important and should be strengthened to foster overall project success, especially during the problem definition stage of design.

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.

The Impact

The scope of this article is to explore the transaction profitability of frequent and sporadic buyers in the e-commerce arena. Evidence in relationship marketing literature stressing the impact of purchase frequency on customer transaction profitability as well as recent academic research challenging this approach and pointing out the importance of sporadic clients is analyzed and presented. A single case study research methodology was chosen for this article due to the exploratory facets associated with the subject and the industry under investigation. In order to gather relevant input to carry out this research, one of the largest retailing groups in Brazil was investigated. Conclusions are drawn showing that greater frequency of purchases does not necessarily translate into increased customer transaction profitability. Implications are presented, enabling practitioners and academics to grasp fully the real value of customers — both frequent and sporadic buyers — in order to develop coherent approaches for dealing with them adequately.

Analyze Data

The Multi-Site Study is a qualitative research approach that we designed to gain an in-depth knowledge of an organizational phenomenon that had barely been researched: strategic scanning. It combines several approaches to case study research, borrowing from the positivist tradition, the interpretative approach and the qualitative research corpus. It involves the observation and analysis of several sites using namely cross-case comparisons and explanation building techniques to analyze data. The following report primarily explains the thought process that led to the research decision, a description of the process itself is then presented, followed by an illustration and discussion of the results obtained and finally, a note of reflection on the entire experience.

Abstract. Divorce often produces both positive and negative influences in all aspects of children’s life. This research intends to seek whether parents’ divorce can affect a child’s health condition, psychology and spiritual which are referred as a bio-psychosocial and spiritual tools. By utilizing these tools, it is expected that a better understanding can be drawn to what extent divorce may affect children of divorced parents. This thesis uses a qualitative approach with a case study research methodology where data collection techniques includes interviews, observation and documentation. The findings indicate that biopsychosocial and spiritual tools can provides information on the impact upon children with divorced parents. These impacts can be comprehended through the biological aspects, how health conditions of children altered prior to and following the separation of parents. The psychological and spiritual conditions can be perceived through how a child interacts with the environment. Abstrak. Perceraian kerap kali membawa pengaruh dalam segala aspek kehidupan anak baik pengaruh yang bersifat positif maupun negatif. Penelitian ini perlu dilakukan untuk mengetahui apakah perceraian orang tua dapat mempengaruhi kondisi kesehatan anak, psikologis anak serta spiritual anak atau dapat disebut sebagai biopsikososial dan spiritual. Dengan memperhatikan aspek tersebut diharapkan perceraian tidak menjadi momok yang menakutkan bagi anak karena meskipun orang tua mereka berpisah, mereka masih dapat merasakan kasih sayang seutuhnya dari kedua orang tua. Pendekatan yang peneliti gunakan dalam skripsi ini adalah metodologi penelitian kualitatif dengan penelitian studi kasus, dimana teknik pengumpulan data penulis dilakukan melalui wawancara, observasi dan dokumentasi. Adapun hasil temuan yang peneliti dapatkan mengenai dampak biopsikososial dan spiritual korban perceraian orang tuanya, adalah dapat dilihat melalui aspek biologis yaitu bagaimana kondisi kesehatan anak sebelum dan sesudah perceraian orang tuanya, aspek psikologis yaitu bagaimana konsep diri seorang anak dengan perceraian orang tuanya, aspek sosial dan spiritual adalah bagaimana interaksi seorang anak dengan lingkungan, apakah perceraian benar-benar memberikan pengaruh terhadap aspek-aspek tersebut diatas.
