Hello Naeem

There are lots of ideas about what makes/doesn't make a case study but I find the most helpful distinction is made by, I think, Sharran Merriam who points out that a case study should be 'bounded' - that is, that technically everyone involved in your study should be connected to the same experience - e.g. all being teachers and students in the same school. Based on your comment, I think I would agree with the reviewer - looks more like a mixed methods study to me. I think I've seen reference to this book on Methodspace before but Helen Simons's Case Study Research in Practice is an absolutely excellent resource if you want to look at this further.

I have just completed a study on clean development mechanism (kyoto protocol), to inquire underlying motivations and advantages of projects. I analyzed contents of project documents, news papers, websites but made analysis and conclusions mainly on data of semi-structured telephonic interviews. Can this method be called Case Study Method (Yin)? I argued in the study that it is a case study method but need help to get out of confusion after receiving review of my study by one anonymous reviewer, who labelled it as qualitative survey.

Dave,
Take a look at QDA Miner and Wordstat (provalisresearch.com) as a much more economical, flexible and rigorous alternative to pushing a few buttons in SPSS.

I will be doing a qualitative, phenomenological study using semi-structured interviews with a group of management consultants. What would be an appropriate data analysis methodology?
