2.3. Case Studies
The case study method has been chosen for the following concrete reasons:
- As has been described in the theoretic background (Chapter 1 section 3.3), the existing research and writings on knowledge entrepreneurship are assessed not to be suitable to describe the investigated phenomenon in the university context. Therefore, an inductive and theory-building approach is appropriate.
- In order to understand the organisation as a whole a complexity science view (Chia, 1999; Mason, 2005; McMillan, 2004; Eve Mitleton-Kelly, 2003; E Mitleton-Kelly, 2005; Stacey, 1996, 2001) the method has been chosen because it permits the description of the fractal individual and the organisation as a whole.
- Because the study is interested in specific human experience, this research is potentially relevant to non-academic audiences (Strauss & Corbin, 1990, p. 6) and, therefore, the cases are recounted as a narrative; therein, the theory aspects are developed in the cross-case analysis.
