Bridging the gap between quantitative and qualitative approaches, Embedded Case Study Methods presents methods for interrelating and integrating the variables, findings, and evaluations from the facets of the case (i.e., different perspectives of inquiry such as participant observation, open-ended interviews, etc.) or sub-units of case inquiry. Using case examples from five different disciplines (neuropsychology, education, law, business, and environmental sciences), the authors show the reader how to use the embedded case design to enhance synthesis and knowledge integration. The authors share their broad knowledge of the philosophy of science to explain the rationale behind each step of embedded case designs, and recap each explanation with concept recaps called "lessons to be learned." In addition, they include a variety of boxes that offer statistical models for doing the analysis. This book offers readers a sophisticated approach to integrating mixed methods in case studies.

Der Sammelband trägt die unterschiedlichen Debatten um die Situationsanalyse in Anschluss an Adele Clarke zusammen. In den einzelnen Kapiteln werden hierzu theoretische, methodologische und/oder empirische Überlegungen wie auch deren Leerstellen und Weiterführungen diskutiert sowie methodische Ansätze konkretisiert. Damit greift die Publikation offene Fragen und Weiterführungen des Clarke‘schen Theorie-Methoden-Pakets der Situationsanalyse auf und liefert so einen Beitrag zur Fortentwicklung einer Methodologie, die insbesondere für inter- und transdisziplinäre Forschungsprojekte vielfältige Impulse bietet. Der Sammelband adressiert (Nachwuchs-)Forschende, die mit der Situationsanalyse arbeiten oder diesen Ansatz für ihre Arbeit entdecken möchten. Das Werk soll sowohl Studierende als auch Wissenschaftler*innen und Praktiker*innen unterschiedlicher Disziplinen und Ausrichtungen ansprechen.
