case studies - Analysis
Go back to: General discussion
When we talk about analyzing a case, what do we mean by that? what does analysis entail here?
What kind of analysis we want to do, and what techniques we want to use?
IMHO: I am not sure it is a good idea to venture in kinds of qualitative data analysis here. Damn time consuming.
perhaps simple descriptions of cases can be enough in our course? If so, then we need to create a simple template to guide the examination of the chosen organization - See Thread "Questions".
At this level, analysis is more about the 'why' than anything more in-depth? So, *why* a successful example of open governance works while another may have failed?
Through this, we can start to identify factors that have led to strong and resilient examples - which will help when we try to apply this kind of knowledge later?
Just a thought.
