Case studies involve the description and analysis of a single person, group, system, process, or other entity in great detail often to determine how it works and to identify the factors or dynamics that lead to success or failure. The case study method is frequently thought of as a "qualitative research method" and so it also appears in the list of "types" under "qualitative research methods."
