Evaluation and documentation of case studies

Inductive and deductive approach to the processing of case studies [Pg.61]

Evaluation of the case studies is characterised by two courses of abstraction (abstraction or generalisation movements), which differ only as concerns their ideal type and can then be designated inductively as bottom up and deductively as top down. In the case of the inductive bottom up movement the generation of hypotheses is the primary objective. The aim is (as far as it is at all possible) to let the material speak and to draw conclusions which can be generalised from the individual experiences of the particular case studies, in most instances with the aid of a more or less refined evaluation grid. [Pg.61]

Starting from the model and the stock of hypotheses, it was possible in the deductive top down movement , on the other hand, to make more accurate enquiries regarding the particular innovation processes in the case studies. As stated, both these movements must only be differentiated as ideal types. [Pg.61]

As part of the rough structure we examined and documented the case studies with regard to innovation level, innovation process and innovation direction in accordance with four main questions  [Pg.62]

On the basis of that, the main issue concerning the practical relevance of our examinations was where and how can political, economic, public interest groups and other parties affect the innovation process (or change the general framework [Pg.62]
