In this introduction to understanding, researching and doing case studies in the social sciences, Hamel outlines several differing traditions of case study research including the Chicago School of Sociology, the anthropological case studies of Malinowski, and the French La Play school tradition. He shows how each developed, changed and has been practiced over time. Suggestions for the practice of case studies are made for the novice reader and an additional feature is the extensive bibliography on case study methods in social science to allow for further exploration of the topic.

A Case Study in Turning a Term Paper Into a Book,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Case Study Methods (Qualitative Research Methods) (Paperback)
I was hoping for a model for conducting a case study. This is definitely not it. This is an academic discussion of sociology-based case studies.It may be just what some were looking for, but it is not the manual on how to do a case study.

Avoid this book, save your money,
By A Customer
This review is from: Case Study Methods (Qualitative Research Methods) (Paperback)
This is the absolute worst book on case studies I have ever seen. And, I have read many. Better books to buy would by primarily Yin (1994). While the publication date on Yin is old, it is a seminole work and referenced by most others in the field. Two more recent and good books are by Sharan B. Merriam 2001 and by Foster, Gomm and Hammersly (2000). ...Seriously, avoid this book.... I gave 1 star only because the system doesn't allow zero stars.
