Question 15: A particular kind of case study is the critical instance.

True (Correct answer)
False

Correct answer: True

The critical instance case study is a specific type where the researcher focuses on a single, unique, or extreme case that is particularly illuminating or important. This type of case study is chosen because it offers a critical opportunity to test a theory, challenge a generalization, or understand a rare phenomenon. It provides deep insights into specific, pivotal situations.

Question 16: How many key steps are involved in performing a case study?

two
three
six
four (Correct answer)

Correct answer: four

While the exact number of steps can vary slightly depending on the methodology framework, a common understanding of performing a case study involves four key stages. These typically include defining the case and research questions, selecting the case(s) and data collection methods, collecting and analyzing the data, and finally, interpreting and reporting the findings. This structured approach ensures thoroughness and rigor.

Question 17: What is the purpose of a 'break-even analysis' in a business case study?

To calculate employee productivity benchmarks

Correct answer: To determine the point where total revenue equals total costs

Break-even analysis identifies the sales volume at which total revenue equals total costs, meaning the business neither profits nor loses.

Question 18: What distinguishes an explanatory case study from a descriptive case study?

Explanatory focuses on future predictions; descriptive focuses on past events
Explanatory uses only quantitative data; descriptive uses only qualitative data
Explanatory involves multiple researchers; descriptive uses a single analyst
Explanatory seeks causal relationships; descriptive documents phenomena (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Explanatory seeks causal relationships; descriptive documents phenomena

An explanatory case study seeks to establish causal relationships and explain why something occurred, while a descriptive case study documents what happened.

Question 19: Which method involves comparing multiple cases to identify patterns and differences?

Comparative Case Study Analysis (Correct answer)
Single Embedded Case Study
Exploratory Survey Research
Longitudinal Study Design

Correct answer: Comparative Case Study Analysis

Comparative case study analysis examines two or more cases side by side to identify common patterns, differences, and broader generalizability.

Question 20: What does 'scope of practice' mean in a healthcare case study involving nursing staff?

The continuing education requirements for license renewal
The number of patients a nurse can be assigned per shift
The procedures and actions a healthcare professional is legally permitted to perform (Correct answer)
The geographic territory where a nurse is licensed to work

Correct answer: The procedures and actions a healthcare professional is legally permitted to perform

Scope of practice defines the specific procedures, actions, and processes a healthcare provider is permitted to undertake based on their education, experience, and licensure.

Question 21: What is meant by 'cold calling' in the context of the Harvard case method classroom?

Phoning a company to verify case facts
The instructor calling on a student without prior warning to begin the discussion (Correct answer)
Assigning unprepared students to present the case solution

Trace each conclusion back through the data to the original research questions (Correct answer)
Verify that the sample was randomly drawn
Generalize findings to a statistical population
Skip the methodology section entirely

Correct answer: Trace each conclusion back through the data to the original research questions

A chain of evidence links research questions, protocol, data, and conclusions so readers can follow the derivation in either direction.

Question 23: A researcher selects a case because it offers unusual access to a phenomenon rarely open to scientific observation. Yin calls this rationale for a single-case design the:

Revelatory case (Correct answer)
Critical case
Typical case
Longitudinal case

Correct answer: Revelatory case

A revelatory case justifies single-case design because it exposes a previously inaccessible phenomenon.

Question 24: What is 'strict liability' in US product liability case studies?

A criminal standard requiring proof beyond a reasonable doubt
A tax liability applied automatically when revenue thresholds are met
A contract clause preventing one party from claiming damages
Holding a manufacturer liable for a defective product regardless of fault or negligence (Correct answer)

The plaintiff's initial filing of a complaint with the court
The judge's ruling that a case has sufficient merit to proceed to trial
The prosecutor's presentation of evidence to the grand jury
The pre-trial process in which parties exchange relevant information and evidence (Correct answer)

Correct answer: The pre-trial process in which parties exchange relevant information and evidence

Discovery is the pre-trial phase in which opposing parties obtain relevant evidence from each other through tools like depositions, interrogatories, and document requests.

Question 38: All of the following may be used in case study research, but not:

A specific project or a computer software (Correct answer)
An individual or a community
Small groups or an organization
A decision process or a relationship

Correct answer: A specific project or a computer software

Case study research typically focuses on 'bounded systems' that are social or organizational in nature, such as individuals, small groups, organizations, communities, decision processes, or relationships. While a 'specific project' can certainly be a case, 'a computer software' itself is an artifact, not a social system or process. Case studies examine the *context* and *dynamics* surrounding such artifacts, rather than the artifact in isolation.

Question 39: In US healthcare policy case studies, what does 'value-based care' emphasize?

Maximizing hospital revenue through premium service pricing
Paying providers based on patient health outcomes rather than volume of services (Correct answer)
Offering the lowest-cost treatment regardless of clinical effectiveness

The burden of proof is the legal obligation on a party — typically the plaintiff or prosecutor — to prove their claims to the applicable standard, such as beyond a reasonable doubt in criminal cases.

Question 43: Explanation building as an analytic strategy in case studies is best described as:

A one-time statistical test of a hypothesis
An iterative process of revising causal propositions as evidence is examined (Correct answer)
A method for randomizing case selection
A way to transcribe interviews verbatim

Correct answer: An iterative process of revising causal propositions as evidence is examined

Explanation building iteratively refines theoretical propositions against case evidence until a coherent explanation emerges.

Question 44: In evaluating student performance during case study discussions, which criterion is most commonly assessed?

Quality of reasoning and evidence used to support arguments (Correct answer)
Agreement with the instructor's position
Speed of response
Volume of speaking time

Correct answer: Quality of reasoning and evidence used to support arguments

Effective case study participation is judged on the analytical quality and evidence behind a student's argument, not quantity or conformity.

Question 45: Why is it important to define the scope of a case study at the outset?

To limit the number of sources that can be cited
To restrict the case to a single industry sector
To set boundaries that keep the analysis focused and manageable (Correct answer)
To avoid including any quantitative data in the study

Correct answer: To set boundaries that keep the analysis focused and manageable

Defining scope at the outset establishes clear boundaries for what will and will not be included, preventing the analysis from becoming unfocused or unmanageable.

Question 46: Which case study analysis method involves asking 'Why?' five times to reach the root of a problem?

Six Sigma
PDCA Cycle
Force Field Analysis
The 5 Whys Technique (Correct answer)

Correct answer: The 5 Whys Technique

The 5 Whys Technique, developed by Sakichi Toyoda, involves iteratively asking 'Why?' to drill down to the root cause of a problem.

Question 47: In cross-case synthesis, the researcher primarily:

Converts each case into a regression coefficient
Pools all raw data into one undifferentiated dataset
Treats each case as a separate study and aggregates patterns across them (Correct answer)
Selects the single best case and discards the rest

Correct answer: Treats each case as a separate study and aggregates patterns across them

Cross-case synthesis retains each case's integrity while comparing patterns and word tables across cases.

Question 48: Why is it important for an educational case study to include both quantitative data (e.g., financials) and qualitative data (e.g., employee interviews)?

To make the case longer and more comprehensive
To satisfy accreditation requirements for case length
To provide a fuller, multi-dimensional picture of the situation being analyzed (Correct answer)
To ensure students practice both math and writing skills equally

Correct answer: To provide a fuller, multi-dimensional picture of the situation being analyzed

Combining quantitative and qualitative data gives students a richer understanding of the situation, as numbers alone or narratives alone rarely capture the full complexity.

Question 49: When conducting a quantitative analysis in a case study, which of the following best describes a key step?

Applying statistical methods to numerical data to identify patterns (Correct answer)
Drawing conclusions based on personal experience
Interviewing stakeholders to gather subjective opinions

A bar association rule prohibiting dual representation of opposing parties
The confidentiality protection covering communications between a lawyer and their client (Correct answer)
A lawyer's immunity from civil lawsuits filed by former clients
The exclusive right of attorneys to appear in federal court proceedings

Correct answer: The confidentiality protection covering communications between a lawyer and their client

Attorney-client privilege protects confidential communications between a lawyer and their client from being disclosed without the client's consent, encouraging full and frank legal advice.

Question 51: In case study analysis, what is a 'rival explanation'?

An alternative interpretation that could also explain the observed evidence (Correct answer)
A financial projection that contradicts the main forecast
A competing company's perspective on the case
A second researcher's unrelated conclusion

Correct answer: An alternative interpretation that could also explain the observed evidence

A rival explanation is an alternative theoretical interpretation that could equally account for the evidence, and must be considered and ruled out for rigorous analysis.

Question 52: During fieldwork, a key informant repeatedly steers the researcher toward one favorable narrative. The best safeguard against this is to:

Report the narrative as the study's conclusion
Rely exclusively on that informant for efficiency
Corroborate the informant's account with independent sources of evidence (Correct answer)
Discard all interview data from the study

Correct answer: Corroborate the informant's account with independent sources of evidence

Corroboration through other informants and documents guards against informant bias and reflexivity.

Injunctive relief is a court-ordered remedy that compels a party either to take a specific action (mandatory injunction) or to refrain from doing something (prohibitory injunction).

Question 55: Which of the following is a key characteristic that distinguishes a well-written educational case study from a simple news article?

It is always written in first person
It avoids mentioning specific organizations or individuals
It focuses only on positive outcomes
It contains discussion questions that prompt analytical thinking (Correct answer)

Correct answer: It contains discussion questions that prompt analytical thinking

Educational case studies include structured discussion questions that guide learners to analyze, evaluate, and apply concepts rather than passively read.

Question 56: What is the primary purpose of a root cause analysis (RCA) in a case study?

To calculate the financial impact of a decision
To outline the company's competitive advantages
To identify the fundamental reason a problem occurred (Correct answer)
To map out the organizational hierarchy

Correct answer: To identify the fundamental reason a problem occurred
