Case Study as a Suitable Method to Research Strategy as Practice Perspective

Abstract

The goal of this study was to comprehend how case studies are used to analyze strategy as practice perspective phenomena inside organizations. Through a narrative review, associated with a systematic analysis of the literature, we revisited papers published in high index management journals that have presented the case study as method to analyze phenomena from the strategy as practice perspective. We understand that the case study method was used appropriate to analyze in-depth phenomena concerning the perspective of strategy as practice. Both, the method, and the strategy as practice perspective look at the phenomena in their singularity. This study contributes to reveal that the case study method has the power to study reality in the field of research, such as dynamic social process, micro activities (routines), individual behavior, interactions, and processes.
