The Case Study Toolbook is designed to help individuals to create their own case studies more successfully. It is aimed at partnership practitioners worldwide, irrespective of their sector or their partnering role(s), whether they are working on partnerships at an operational or a strategic level and whether they are ‘internal’ or ‘external’ to the partnership being studied.
This publication aims to do three things: first, to make the case for more penetrating and useful partnership case studies; second, to prompt reflection on the challenges faced by a case study researcher / writer and third, to provide some useful tools for those involved in partnership case study work. It is an output from a one-year project, and should be regarded as a ‘work in progress’. The publication draws on contributions from partnership practitioners through a series of commissioned papers, researched partnership case studies and logbooks documenting different case study researcher’s experience.
