Case Study Approach

In this paper, the definition and description of what a case study is, what are some reasons for using a case study, what are some disadvantages and advantages of this approach? Also included in this paper I will talk about what are some of the ways a researcher can acquire information that can is used for a case study. A case study can be defined as a descriptive account of the behavior, history, and other relevant factors concerning a particular individual (Cozby, Bates, 2012).

A case study is “a method of analysis and a specific research design for examining a problem” (University of Southern California, 2010). It can be used to analyze a person, place, event, or other subjects in order to help discover mitigating issues, misconceptions, failures, trends, or recommendations (USC, 2010). Case studies will be used to gain a better understanding of situations and topics to help others make better policies, procedures, and decisions (USC, 2010).

The purpose of this week’s assignment is to review a case study and discuss the patient’s cultural background, perception of health, and ways to overcome overarching issues. The case study I chose involves a Latino patient who presents for a follow-up after knee surgery. The patient is still having a significant amount of pain and is requesting a refill on his pain medication. The surgeon refuses to refill his prescription and makes the assumption that the patient is drug seeking.

IT business cases can set the framework for making a good decisions on projects (Perkins, 2005). They provide a business with an explanation of why the project is needed and how it will

Every organization should implement information system to operate their business activities. This article describes how a punctuated process model can analyse a specific information system development (ISD). They also focus on information system project which was implemented in a UK retail small medium sized enterprise (SME). A new technology was being applied instead of previous one. Basically information system method can give us a new realistic and valuable way to realize ISD as a social process. By using information system development, RTD can communicate through organizational work as well as information system building process within the organization. Eventually this change in existing organizational routines can play positive impact on RTD. (Question 3)

On 2/19/18 met Mr. Revis, both guardians and also the internal case manager from Rainbow at the appointment with Dr. Geffard. This was a meeting because at the last appointment which Brian only attended with the internal case manager he asked Dr. Geffard about regaining his own guardianship. Dr. Geffard wanted to speak with the co-guardians so this was today. Brian is still acting out with other clients. He also had an incident of taking pictures in the home where he stays and calling adult protective services. He claimed that it was not clean and the staff was using toxic chemicals. The home was visited and he was interviewed but nothing was found. His primary goal is to get out of Rainbow and get his guardianship taken back. He continues to be very impulsive. He continues to not be on any medications. At this point, Dr. Geffard said he needs to have some Neuropsychology testing done to go over what is TBI and what is just Brian’s normal behavior. Dr. Geffard said that yes we already know he makes bad choices by his past behaviors but that doesn't mean he has to be housed in a facility. That he may be at the point he can make his own choices even if we do not agree with them. Dr. Geffard's office will be setting up the testing then we will decide where to go from there.

This section of the article shall address the approach used in the case study, providing explanations of the preferred research method, sample details, variables under examination, data collection

The mini-case starts with “IT is a pain in the neck,” which is a wrong notion that most of the business managers have in an organization. The history of IT-business relationships in most of the organizations shows that there is a huge gap between both sides which is getting better over a period of time. Today, managers know the fact that it is the people, technology and information that realizes the value of a company and everytime IT cannot be blamed for everything. The days have gone when IT was looked at as the sole responsibility for a company’s growth or downfall. IT processes along with the

As the new CIO of Volkswagen of America (VWoA), Dr. Uwe Matulovic brings an impressive resume that includes ample experience in aligning business process management (BPM), business process re-engineering (BPR) and the insights necessary to create the Business Process Technology Organization (BPTO). As the IT projects within VWoA have lacked governance and are facing a severe budget shortfall of $150M, Dr. Matulovic has a formidable challenge. He must first align all existing IT projects to strategic initiatives, which is the essence of effective IT governance (Huang, Zmud, Price, 2010) and then he must define processes to stabilize these strategies yet ensure integration still occurs at the process and system level (Korac-Kakabadse, Kakabadse, 2001). All of these factors need to be taken into account as VWoA is evaluating up to 22 new models with will have an exponential, nearly chaotic impact on their existing IT systems and their ability to respond. Further, the VWoA business has continued to suffer from a lack of unified focus of IT spending to overall strategic initiatives. This lack of governance has created a process of defining IT priorities more defined by the persuasive ability of managers, their ability to build compelling Return on Investment (ROI) arguments, and

A case study is a specific instance that is frequently designed to illustrate a more general principle (Nisbet and Watt, 1984). Hitchock and Hughes (1995) further suggest that the case study approach is particularly valuable when the researcher has little control over evens. Case studies strives to portray ‘what it like’ to be a particular situation, to catch up reality and ‘thick description’ (Geertz, 1973) of participants’ lives experiences of, thoughts about and feelings for a situation. They involve looking at a case or phenomenon in its real-life context, usually employing many types of data (Robson, 2002). It is important in case studies for events and situations to be allowed to speak for themselves, rather than to be largely interpreted, evaluated or judged by the researcher. In this respect the case study is akin to the television documentary. Case studies can make theoretical statements, but, like other forms of research and human sciences, these must be supported by the evidence presented.

In reading the first article Coach Knight: The Will to Win, I found the article found Coach Knight to be very offensive and mean to his players. Coach Knight did not display good leadership skills. According to the article, Coach Knight’s drive and passion for excellence was not always received as well as his record of wins and losses Snook, Per low, Delacey, 2005).
