| Summary |
The embedded multiple "within case study" design is a robust qualitative method for theory building. It permits theory application to a set of equifinality (numerous causes-one outcome) and multifinality (one cause-various outcomes) patterns. These patterns can then be examined for conditions common to particular results. These circumstances become qualifiers for the theory's predictions, rigorously strengthening the theory's expectation capacity. Furthermore, it contributes to a research program by producing other results upon which other scholars can examine. This project started out as a single-case study to capture interaction nuances between the Philippine Government and the International Monetary Fund negotiations and during policy implementation. However, the design needed modification to capture the related association between two sets of variables (independent and dependent). So, I expanded the single case study to five. This modification, though, failed to adequately capture the dependent variables; as a result, I expanded the cases to 10, and then to 14 after the revelation of new information. To provide analytical and conceptual rigor, I adapted the two-level game theory, which altered the case study design again to 24 cases, producing a complex embedded multiple "within case study" design. Readers of this case study will learn the conditions under which minor and major adaptations and modifications are necessary due to legitimate changes in theoretical concerns and objectives |
