摘要

Case surveys bridge the gap between nonmothetic surveys and idiographic case studies to combine their respective benefits of generalizable, cross-sectional analysis and in-depth, processual analysis. Methodological fragmentation has limited systematic utilization of numerous managerially relevant case studies. This article develops a comprehensive procedure synthesizing the individual strengths of previous effort and illustrates this method in a case survey of mergers and acquisition. The empirical application is used to generate directions for future methodological development.
