Theme 6: Qualitative and case study research post

This week has been about Qualitative research and about case studies.
I have had some experience with this topic, because we mainly used these metodes during our bachelor thesis. It is a good way to get information about a very specific topic from people that could have a lot of experiences of that particular topic. This could also be a problem and that is the most important things that I've learned during this week.

Case-studies gives, as I said above "information about a very specific topic from people that could have a lot of experiences of that particular topic". The main problem with this is that you exclude the rest of the people and in some certainties it could be bad. I don't have any real example of these kinds of situations, but one imaginary idea could be this: The government decides to build a new highway and qualitative studies are conducted with experts using a case study. The expert then gives a conclusion of where and how the highway should be built, and everybody is happy. By only doing this, you miss out the rest of the population. Although, the rest of the people, that doesn't counts as experts, aren't getting anything said themselves about this proposition.      

This problem is something I believe that everyone must be aware of when conducting a case study. It needs to be compared with other test results so that the overall conclusion can be determinated.
