A framework for case study research - highlighting the reviewers' perspectives
(2009) 21th Annual NOFOMA Conference, 2009 p.159-174- Abstract
- <i>Purpose of this paper</i><br>
The purpose is twofold: to map the reviewers’ perspective of evaluation of case based
logistics and supply chain management research; and to develop a framework with all
criteria needed to design, conduct, and present rigorous case study research. This
framework can be used by both researchers and reviewers.<br>
<i>Design/methodology/approach</i><br>
An interview study is performed to establish how reviews currently are being conducted in
logistics and supply chain management journals. A literature review in combination with a
both divisive and agglomerate cluster analysis is applied... (More) - <i>Purpose of this paper</i><br>
The purpose is twofold: to map the reviewers’ perspective of evaluation of case based
logistics and supply chain management research; and to develop a framework with all
criteria needed to design, conduct, and present rigorous case study research. This
framework can be used by both researchers and reviewers.<br>
<i>Design/methodology/approach</i><br>
An interview study is performed to establish how reviews currently are being conducted in
logistics and supply chain management journals. A literature review in combination with a
both divisive and agglomerate cluster analysis is applied to develop the framework. The
framework is compared to the evaluation criteria provided by reviewers.<br>
<i>Findings</i><br>
There is an expressed need for a more structured and systematic review process for case
based articles. An established framework for evaluation of case based research does not
exist. There is a lack of standardized terminology in the field. A comprehensive framework
for case based research is developed and presented.<br>
<i>Research limitations/implications</i><br>
The research is focused on case studies only.<br>
<i>What is original/value of paper?</i><br>
This paper present both the reviewers perspective on case study evaluation and it provides
a comprehensive framework for all steps of a rigorous case based research process
including what aspects that should be included and recommendations for how and why
certain aspects should be included. (Less)
