Product Description
This new edition of the best-selling Case Study Research has been carefully revised, updated, and expanded while retaining virtually all of the features and coverage of the Second Edition. Robert Yin's comprehensive presentation covers all aspects of the case study method--from problem definition, design, and data collection, to data analysis and composition and reporting. Yin also traces the uses and importance of case studies to a wide range of disciplines, from sociology, psychology and history to management, planning, social work, and education.
New to the Third Edition: - Additional examples of case study research
- Discussions of developments in related methods, including randomized field trials and computer-assisted coding techniques
- Added coverage of the strengths of multiple-case studies, case study screening, and the case study as a part of larger multi-method studies
- Five major analytic techniques, including the use of logic models to guide analysis
This edition also includes references to examples of actual case studies in the companion volume Applications of Case Study Research, Second Edition (Sage, 2003).

 Helpful for such a small book June 16, 2008
I was a bit surprised at the small size of the book, but it makes up for it in content. Currently an MBA student who needed some guidance on the specific nature of doing case study research for a research methodology course assignment. Highly recommended by the lecturer and the text is very helpful in outlining the differences in the approach needed for case studies.
 Great advice, even for a non fiction book May 9, 2008
I read this book to help me understand how to conduct case studies for a project I was doing, that eventually turned into a book. I did a pretty good canvas of other books about case study research and was impressed with the other reviews here on Amazon, and ended up buying this book as a result.
I used the advice from the book about preparing consistent questions and following a protocall throughout my research. This helped when I had to ask some pointed questions of some interviewees, if only to be consistent across the board. This work is accessible even to non-academics, who wish to use this research method to gather information for non profit research. For me, the case study research for my project became the most statisfying part. In the end the case studies made the manuscript into something more valuable to the reader and therefore publishable. Take a look at New Solutions for House Museums, published by AltaMira Press in 2007.New Solutions for House Museums: Ensuring the Long-Term Preservation of America's Historic Houses (American Association for State and Local History)

Great resource March 29, 2008
This book is an excellant resource for qualitative research. It is written logically and is easy to follow. In particular, the sections on case study design, how to address validity and reliability, and justification of methods are very helpful. But it and plan to keep it as a reference.
