"If
you
were
part
of
a
study
team
trying
to
figure
out
what
to
do
in
a
complicated
(i.e.,
multi-party,
multi-issue,
technically
complex)
situation,
you
would
want
to
rush
out
and
get
a
copy
ofEmbedded
Case
Study
Methodsby
Roland
Scholz
and
Olaf
Tietje.
Using
their
own
Zurich
North
case
study
to
explain
the
proper
use
of
case
study
methods,
they
demonstrate
how
eleven
different
techniques
--
including
integrated
risk
assessment,
multi-attribute
utility
theory,
scenario
analysis,
future
workshops,
and
a
kind
of
mediation
called
Area
Development
Negotiation
--
ought
to
be
used
to
develop
collaborative
solutions.
Along
the
way,
they
destroy
conventional
distinctions
between
quantitative
and
qualitative
methods
and
offer
(finally!)
an
integrated
approach
that
applies
equally
well
to
problem
framing,
option
generation,
and
the
management
of
stakeholder
encounters.
Most
of
the
relevant
literature
(from
more
than
a
dozen
disciplines)
is
reviewed
in
detail.
What
more
could
a
study
team
member
want?"
"Scholz and Olaf have developed an important methodology to integrate complex cases. Their approach combines the best of quantitative and qualitative methodologies to create new insights that would not be available to researchers using more conventional approaches."
"This is an excellent book that serves an important purpose. It should become a valuable resource in research methods courses covering issues of case research. Doctoral students especially, should find the book particularly helpful. The conceptual material and methods of knowledge integration presented in this book provide scholars with the background and tools necessary to conduct case studies that meet the field's most rigorous scientific standards."
This book should be required reading for anyone involved with case study analysis.

Descriere
In
the
course
of
analysis
the
case
will
be
faceted
either
by
different
perspectives
of
inquiry
or
by
several
sub-units.
This
book
presents
different
methodological
approaches
to
organize
this
faceting
process.
Notă biografică
Roland W. Scholz holds the Chair of Natural and Social Science Interface in the Department of Environmental Sciences at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich, Switzerland). He is also adjunct professor (Privatdozent) of Psychology at the University of Zurich and from 2011 to 2013 he is extraordinary professor at the School of Management and Planning, Stellenbosch University (S.A.).
Scholz graduated in Mathematics (Dipl.-Math.), Social Psychology (Dr. phil.), and Cognitive Psychology (Dr. phil. habil.). After specializing in game theory and decision sciences he switched to systems analysis, and environmental modeling, evaluation and risk assessment.
Scholz was elected as the fifth holder of the King Carl XVI Gustaf¿s Professorship 2001/2002 hosted at the Center of Environment and Sustainability of Chalmers University of Technology and Gothenborg University (Sweden). Since 2002, he is speaking at the International Transdisciplinarity Network on Case Study Teaching (ITdNet). His work relates transdisciplinarity as a methodology of organizing sustainable transition processes and interdisciplinary research on inextricably coupled human-environment systems. Since 1994 Scholz has run large-scale transdisciplinary studies on sustainable transitions of urban and regional systems, organizational development, and of policy and decision processes.
