Resumen
This paper analyses the case study research methodology to answer the question
about how fruitful is this method and whether or not it is worthy to be applied
in social sciences. The case study method has been questioned and criticised
along the history by some methodologists; others have defended it. The authors
concluded that the case study method is generally criticized because it is arguably
misunderstood. They recommend to researchers to follow a framework or prespecified procedures to avoid false hypotheses and generalize from relative and
ambiguous conclusions.
