18. THEORY BUILDING FROM
CASES: OPPORTUNITIES AND
CHALLENGES
第一段最後一行為此文之重心:
…, we focus on the related research strategy
of theory building from cases, particularly
multiple cases.
19. THEORY BUILDING FROM
CASES: OPPORTUNITIES AND
CHALLENGES
Conclusion: 結論之重點
Theory building from case studies is an increasingly popular
and relevant research strategy……
Challenge: research relying on rich qualitative data is
becoming more common.
Mitigate(減輕)through precise language and thoughtful
research design: (此部份為作者提出之方法)
Careful justification of theory building
Theoretical sampling of cases
Interviews that limit informant bias
Rich presentation of evidence in tables and appendixes
Clear statement of theoretical arguments
The result is fresh theory that bridges well from rich
qualitative evidence to mainstream deductive research.
20. BETTER STORIES AND BETTER
CONSTRUCTS: THE CASE FOR RIGOR(精
密的) AND COMPARATIVE LOGIC
1991 stanford University
第一段:
I focused on multiple cases and how to
develop theory from them, but I paid scant
attention to the important role of single-
case research. -> redressing that imbalance
作者此文重視“single-case research”的重要

ARE SINGLE-CASE STUDIES SUPERIOR?
ARE THE CLASSIC STUDIES LOOSE SINGLE

IS “BETTER STORIES VERSUS BETTER
CONSTRUCTS” A FALSE DICHOTOMY?

CONCLUSION
22. BETTER STORIES AND BETTER
CONSTRUCTS: THE CASE FOR RIGOR AND
COMPARATIVE LOGIC
閱讀心得重點:
… good story telling is an essential first
step, but good theory is fundamentally the
result of rigorous (精密的、正確的)
methodology and comparative, multiple-
case logic.
This is as evident in the classic case studies
as it is in contemporary multiple-case
research.
23. Better Stories, Not Better Constructs, to
Generate Better Theory: A Rejoinder to
Eisenhardt
1991 Brigham Young University
1989 Eisenhardt presented an approach to
building theory using case studies, which
summarized a hybrid form of case
research……

Generate Better Theory: A Rejoinder to
Eisenhardt
第一段 第四行:第一段重點
For us this approach is paradoxical because
although its purported purpose is theory
generation, it includes many of the
attributes of hypothesis-testing research.

creation

Summary Comments (結論重點)
…Our goal has not been to discourage such
efforts but rather to point out what researchers
miss if they overlook the advantages of the
classic case study.
…we hope that many scholars will continue to
try to tell good stories that have theoretical
import.(兩者兼顧)
