Case Study Methodology Sample Clauses

Case Study Methodology. A case study was chosen as the main methodology for this research. A case study is an empirical investigation of a phenomenon within its real life context using multiple sources of evidence (Xxx, 1994). It aims to obtain a first-hand view on the objects (Xxx, 2004) through providing an on-site data collection method (Yin, 2004) which ensures the validity and reliability of the data. The advantage of case studies is their in-depth ability to investigate objects within the real world (Yin, 2004) and their ability to examine a less-investigated area (Xxxxxxxx and Keng, 2007). Besides that, case studies investigate targets, target related groups and their interactions (Xxxxxx, 1997a). There are three types of case studies: exploratory, descriptive and explanatory (Yin, 2003). The exploratory method can be adopted when little is known about an area (Xxxxxxx, 2004) and the research aim is to explore the area (Kuo et al., 1999). In other words, the exploratory method is pertinent when research addresses ‘what’ questions (Yin, 2009). The descriptive method can be chosen when the research is going to answer ‘what happened’ questions (Xxx, 2004). The explanatory method aims to answer ‘how’ and ‘why’ questions (Xxx, 2004; Xxx, 2009). Therefore, case studies are characterised by: an in-depth investigation of real-life phenomena to address exploratory, explanatory and descriptive research questions through first-hand data collection. A multiple case study methodology is chosen by this research, which is justified by three reasons. First, the purposes and research questions of this research are based on and developed from the limitations and problems remaining in the extant literature. In other words, this research aims to investigate and answer several issues that are less-investigated in previous studies. For example, this research includes new factors to explore influences on post-acquisition identification of employees from target companies. This research also stands at a firm-level to investigate the impact of cross-border acquisitions on employees from a non-Western country - China, which has received little attention from researchers in M&A studies. As mentioned above, the advantage of case studies is their ability to examine a less-investigated area which is ‘exploratory’, so that case studies are an appropriate method for this research to explore either new or under-studied issues. Specific to research objectives and research questions, the objectives of this r...
