I used this boos as one of the key references for the research part of my MBA dissertation.
Pretty handy and practical tools and quite good frameworks for structuring the whole work.
I liked this and especially the pictures a lot.

As a doctoral student, I purchased this book when a research professor at my university recommended it. I can see why! Since I am considering using the case study process for my dissertation research, this book helped me visualize how it might work. Yin filled the book with cogent examples from many fields, with references to find the original study. These examples were both relatively current and from decades past; this range of times helped me see the growth in the case study process and its breadth of applicability.
The book is not a follow-the-numbers process by any means, no cookie-cutter here. Instead, it contains a structured process from beginning to end, including analysis and reporting. Along the way, Yin forces the reader to ask questions and consider the applicability of the case study approach to one’s own work.
All in all, very helpful and no doubt, it will be a reference for me in years to come.
