Case Studies

Case study is a method that involves the examination of a limited number of specific cases or projects in order to describe the program as a whole.

Case studies are generally used in where it is difficult to obtain a sample large enough to be statistically generalizable to the population because the cases or projects to be studied are likely to be complex. Each case or project selected is studied intensively and described and analyzed in a detailed manner within the context of its environment.
