  • Essay / Methodology and Synthesis Essay - 1102

    The case study is an empirical investigation that studies a specific bounded system in its real-world context which is strongly associated with qualitative research (Stake, 1995). Phenomenology explores how individuals make sense of the world and use “common sense thinking” to interpret their actions and the social world. (Holstein and Gubrium, 1994). Action research uses experimental and control groups to test a hypothesis and focuses on promoting change within an organization. Some common methods for these qualitative methodologies are interviews, observation, and focus.
