Both methodology use similar quantitative and qualitative approach to obtain research data.
Within mixed methods reseal (MMR), the phrase "multiple methods research" usually means several qualitative (or quantitative) methods used together, rather than a mixture of both qualitative and quantitative methods.
My own preference is to think of MMR as integrating the results of qualitative and quantitative methods, so to the extent that a case study produces both kinds of results, it certainly could be mixed methods. An alternative situation would be where one or the other kind of method was used in a purely descriptive sense, without producing any results that are relevant to the research question. Thus, simply collecting quantitative (or qualitative) data is not enough to make a study mixed methods.
