Case study development in the UK

Abstract

A case study may be defined as a description of a situation that has arisen within an organisation. The case may concern one specific problem or cover a wide range of problems. Preferably the case should be based on a real life situation although there are some who advocate the use of armchair cases, ie cases written without being based on a specific company although they may be an amalgam of the case writer's own personal experiences.
