| − | ==Purpose(s) of Case Studies==
| |
| − | * (Forsys general) Produce decision support guidelines
| |
| − | * Specific purposes determined by each country (like country reports) or do we decide on a common set of goals?
| |
| − | * Possible audiences: academic, DSS developers, managers, funders
| |
| − | * How could we build on other Forsys work?
| |
| − | ** Country reports (continue to implement individual country purposes chosen)
| |
| − | ** Use some common methodological structures for comparability (like problem types)
| |
| − | * General types of case studies: exploratory, descriptive, explanatory
| |
| − | ==Methods - Theory development==
| |
| − | * One or more existing theories vs. grounded theory
| |
| − | * If purposes are different, relevant theories will be too
| |
| − | ==Methods - Case definition options==
| |
| − | * A particular DSS
| |
| − | * The application of a single DSS to a particular problem
| |
| − | * The application of DSS (possibly multiple) in a problem domain (eg fire)
| |
| − | ==Methods - Selecting studies==
| |
| − | * How many are feasible?
| |
| − | * Replication strategy
| |
| − | ** same DSS & same context, same DSS & different contexts, different DSS & same context, etc
| |
| − | ==Methods – Data sources & collection methods==
| |
| − | * Six general sources: documents, archival records, interviews, direct observation, participant observation, physical artifacts
| |
| − | ==Reporting results==
| |
| − | * Format depends somewhat on target audiences: academic, DSS developers, managers, funders
| |
| − | * Formats: wiki, country reports/book, other?
| |
| − | ==Other issues==
| |
| − | * Role of other WGs
| |
| − | * How to collaborate across countries during development
