| Tiivistelmä: | In this "Research notes and commentaries" article, the methodological sophistication of case studies is explored as a tool for generating and testing theory by analyzing case studies published from 1995 to 2000 in 10 influential management journals. It is found that case studies emphasized external validity at the expense of the two more fundamental quality measures, internal and construct validity. Comparing case studies published in the three highest-ranking journals with the other seven, uncovered are strategies which may be useful for authors aiming to conduct methodologically rigorous case study research. |
