Recognized as one of the most cited methodology books in the social sciences, the Sixth Edition of Robert K. Yin′s bestselling text provides a complete portal to the world of case study research. With the integration of 11 applications in this edition, the book gives readers access to exemplary case studies drawn from a wide variety of academic and applied fields. Ultimately, Case Study Research and Applications will guide students in the successful design and use of the case study research method. New to this Edition Includes 11 in depth applications that show how researchers have implemented case study methods successfully. Increases reference to relativist and constructivist approaches to case study research, as well as how case studies can be part of mixed methods projects. Places greater emphasis on using plausible rival explanations to bolster case study quality. Discusses synthesizing findings across case studies in a multiple case study in more detail Adds an expanded list of 15 fields that have text or texts devoted to case study research. Sharpens discussion of distinguishing research from non research case studies. The author brings to light at least three remaining gaps to be filled in the future: how rival explanations can become more routinely integrated into all case study research; the difference between case based and variable based approaches to designing and analyzing case studies; and the relationship between case study research and qualitative research. Review: 6th edition versus 5th Edition comments - Excellent, I purchased both the 5th edition which I already had was very much on point with the 5th edition. The 5th edition presents topics much clear visually where the 6th edition typo or fonts is a little bit faded.. The 5th edition fonts are much clear and less expensive!!! Review: Seminal Book for Case Study Research - As an academic researcher the use of Case Study Methods is essential to many qualitative studies. Dr. Yin was an early adapter to Case Study, and continues to lead the way with best practices and insight on how best to utilize Case Study Methods. Invaluable work for academia, and easy to follow and understand for new and seasoned researchers alike. Highest praise for the text, and also the Kindle version, as both serve the greater good.

Essential Book on Case Study Research
Yin's book has, in my opinion, always been the go-to book for researchers using case study methodology. The author discusses case study rationale, strengths and weaknesses of the approach, a case study planning protocol, and details regarding conducting and reporting on case studies. This newest edition adds more case study examples that include examples of the planning stage for studies. It also includes current topics such as gathering data from social media and the use of research software (such as Nvivo). I'm glad that I upgraded to this most recent edition.

Better version than before
I like the 6th edition version. It adds more illustrative graphs and tables, which I can use in my undergraduate qualitative course.

Can't say enough good stuff about this book
Comprehensive. Enough detail when necessary. Clear view of the big picture. I now have some rewriting to do on my case study, but with Yin Edition 6 I'm fired up and getting results of the good kind. It's a research case study. I was feeling a bit like a blade of grass with a lawn mower approaching, but now I am in a much stronger position to present my case.
