In this module, we will discuss the final stage of case studies – sharing or reporting of your case study. Many business problems (complex, with breadth and depth) warranting a case study that a single holistic case cannot address on its own. A Lean Six Sigma integrated Multiple-Case Case Study is just the business solution because generally these cases will require some quantitative or mixed methods elements. Use the excellent case presented in the Zhang et al. (2015) article as a model for your multiple-case case study. After reviewing the Reading & Study material for the module, address the following paper in current APA format:
1. Define the case study report audience and the appropriate reporting methodology
2. Compose visual and textual materials of a case study report
3. Explain the appropriate amount of evidence to present to facilitate the reader’s own conclusions to a case study
4. Design a multiple-case case study that while covering multiple cases still draws a single set of cross-case conclusions (single large organization, not multi-organizational). You will include Lean Six Sigma specifically in the Design (type 4), Collect and Analysis (cross-case synthesis) phases of your case study (use the Zhang et al. (2015) article as a model).
