Case studies may be seen in a similar
light. They are generally written to
reflect real life situations and like life,
do not supply perfect information.
Instead, they require the reader to
read between the lines, make
assumptions after re-ordering and combining the
information provided, and by drawing on experience
generate solutions. It is, therefore, through this combination
of stimuli, this marriage of theory, practice, and experience
that conclusions are generated. These conclusions provide
the key to good case solution generation for it is they that
provide the underpinning and justification for the actions
and resolutions chosen. So, ‘case studies are not meant to be
read rather, they are meant to be interpreted.’
