Applications of Case Study Research by Robert K Yin

Written to augment the author's earlier, extremely successful volume, "Case Study Research: Design and Methods", the new edition of this applications book presents and discusses new case studies from a wide array of topics offering a variety of examples or applications of case study research methods. These applications demonstrate specific techniques or principles that are integral to the case study method. Through these practical applications, the reader is able to identify solutions to problems encountered during this type of research.
