What are your thoughts on this? Do you think that the researchers sometimes mix these two play methods and use them interchangeably? Does it make sense for you to think that there should be a starting and ending point for case study? For example, is it a case study that needs to be done after an experimental study?
Case study is a research method that allows the researcher to understand an individual, a group, or other special event.
In phenomenology, attention is paid to human experiences.
Phenomenological study concerns about qualitative portion of any research and Case study concerns about the quantitative portion. So, in research it depends on your hypothesis of research.
Case study is a research method, but phenomenology is a methodology. While case study is a detailed investigation of the development of the single event (case), in phenomenology researcher pay attention to structures of meaning, how individual expirience and understand subjectivily the world. Data collection methods are different, in case study observation and questionnaries can be used along with interviews, but in phenomenology interviews is the main method. In case study researcher focus on single case. In phenomenology the focus is various individuals and their experiences. Limitations are:The information obtained from a case study cannot be used to make generalizations in case stuudy, but in phenomenology iformation relies heavily on the interviewing skills of the researcher and the articulate skills of the participants.
Niladri Das case study is not always quantitave, it can be also qualitative too, sure it depends on your ontology and epistemology.
As Anjelika Huseyinzade Simsek mentions, "case study" refers to a specific research method, while "phenomenology" refers more to a methodology (or, in other words, a theory of methods.) A case study can be phenomenological, as long as it focuses specifically on the lived experiences of the individual or group under study and the meanings that this individual or group gives to their experiences, but a phenomenological study can involve other qualitative research methods as well (i.e. interviews with multiple people or groups, instead of just one as in a case study.)
case study focus on one case or status bur phenomenology you nees to use many methodology
good luck
