A comparative case study involves analyzing similarities and differences across two or more cases that share a common goal. It involves collecting data over time from one or more organizations or groups within organizations. A comparative case study is built on four principles: theoretical sampling, triangulation, analytical pattern-matching logic, and analytical generalization. Theoretical sampling involves selecting cases determined by the research questions. Triangulation strengthens data by using different methods, such as interviewing respondents more than once. Analytical pattern-matching logic carefully links data to propositions.

- 5. • Criteria for selecting individuals/cases determined by research questions • These criteria are typically determined in advance of sampling and remained fixed throughout the process • Appropriate individuals/cases are identified • A sample of these is then selected • A small group of people are selected initially, on the basis or research relevance DESN Department COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN – DESIGN DEPARTMENT Theoretical Sampling
- 6. • Difficult to establish, in advance, how many people to be interviewed • Impossible to say, in advance, when the theoretical saturation point will be reached • Larger sample sizes are needed when the quantitative study has broad scope • A minimum number of twenty to thirty interviews is recommended • Great care is needed when making inferences from a purposive sample Theoretical SamplingDESN Department COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN – DESIGN DEPARTMENT
- 7. • The basic assumption of triangulation is counterbalancing • Strengthen the data with different methods • Interviewing the same respondent on a particular topic more than once. DESN Department Triangulation COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN – DESIGN DEPARTMENT
- 8. • Carefully linking data to propositions • Precisely defined assignment of subjects and treatment condition. Example:- Time series pattern Campbell first showed how the annual number of traffic fatalities rate over five years. By state law limiting the speed from 75 to 55 miles per hour.
