What will be an ideal response?
1. Snapshot case studies: Detailed objective studies of one research entity at one point in time. Hypothesis testing by comparing patterns across subentities.
2. Longitudinal case studies: Quantitative and/or qualitative studies of one research entity at multiple time points.
3. Pre–post case studies: Studies of one research entity at two time points separated by a critical event. A critical event is one that on the basis of a theory under study would be expected to impact case observations significantly.
4. Patchwork case studies: A set of multiple case studies of the same research entity, using snapshot, longitudinal, and/or pre–post designs. This multi-design approach is intended to provide a more holistic view of the dynamics of the research subject.
5. Comparative case studies: A set of multiple case studies of multiple research entities for the purpose of cross-unit comparison. Both qualitative and quantitative comparisons are generally made.
