I'm currently designing a case study and are exploring how to make a rigor case study design. Therefore, i'm interested in identifying key references on how to conduct case studies within operations- and SCM research?
Both Fawcett et al. (2014) – http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/jbl.12039 – and Gibbert et al. (2008) – http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/smj.722 – provide some helpful suggestions. Yin's book (Case Study Research) is certainly also quite helpful. An example of a case study is: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.2158-1592.2011.01021.x
Flyvbjerg, B. (2006). Five misunderstandings about case-study research. Qualitative inquiry, 12(2), 219-245.
Also take a look at this author, from a slightly different philosophical perspective.
Thanks @Wieland and @Taggart. Very helpful.
I'm already looking into Yin. Also found this from Seuring (2008) -http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/13598540810860967
@Mostafa - It would be about the methods, more specifically, how to secure a rigor case study design in the field of operations and supply chain management.
Dear Morten Brinch,
I think this link will be helpful. Article Assessing the Rigor of Case Study Research in Supply Chain Management
You can equally look at this Journal of Supply Chain Management
Article Rigor in Behavioral Experiments: A Basic Primer for Supply C...
Besides these positivist type of case studies (Eisenhardt; Yin) there are, of course, also other types of case studies, see for example the other types mentioned here: https://scmresearch.org/2017/11/24/four-types-of-case-study-research-designs/ I believe that it is time that SCM becomes more open to alternative methodological perspectives when it comes to case studies.
