...reader with information that makes it possible to evaluate the adequacy of the research procedure and its outcomes (Eisenhardt, 1989). Logical coherence as a foundation for analytical generalization is an important criterion for quality in case research. The third problem with case research relates to the fact that some researchers tend to describe everything and ‘as a result describe nothing’. Such studies interfere with a second criterion of research quality. According to Pfeffer (1982), ‘‘good theory should be parsimonious....

...Finally, the work of others such as Van Maanen (1988) on ethnography, Jick (1979) on triangulation of data types, and Mintzberg (1979) on direct research has provided additional pieces for a framework of building theory from case study research....
