CASE STUDIES in innovation management: In search for best practices
Case study is a widely adopted method in innovation management. However, there is a great diversity in the transparency and rigor in how case studies are conducted, downplaying their potential contribution to the cumulative scholarly knowledge. How can we uplift case studies as the method of choice for rigorous and impactful scholarship?
