What are several reasons that a case study to generate theory or a theory after research model can be useful?
What will be an ideal response?
1. Theory building from case studies is likely to produce theory because creative insight can come from comparing the often-contradictory evidence collected in a case study. This "unfreezing" of thinking can help to produce theory with less research bias.
2. The theory that emerges out of a case study will most likely be able to be tested in real life scenarios with hypotheses that can be proven true or false because the theory grew out of a true life occurrence.
3. The theory coming from a case study is likely to be empirically valid because validation is performed implicitly to the case study process of constant comparison.
In short, theory can be uncovered and informed as a consequence of the data collection and interpretations of these data made throughout the development of the case study.
