Replication strategy Case Study 1: Theory-testing research: testing a necessary condition
5.3.2 Research objective
The objective of the research was to test a set of new propositions. Hence the study could be characterized as initial theory-testing research.5.3.3 Research strategy
The propositions specified necessary conditions for success. The pre- ferred research strategy for testing necessary conditions is the experi- ment. The second-best research strategy is the single case study. The preferred replication strategy is a serial one in which each proposition is tested in a single case before the next case is selected. The research strategy chosen was the parallel single case study, in which each proposition is tested in five cases at the same time. An advantage of the parallel approach is that the chance of finding a rejection of the proposition in one round of parallel testing is considerably higher than with a test in a single case. A disadvantage is that more tests are conducted than strictly necessary, and that outcomes from one case cannot be used for the selection of the next case e.g. in a case from a more narrow domain if the hypothe- sis is rejected. Additionally, there is a danger that a probabilistic approach will unwittingly creep into the analysis comparative case study. We will expand here upon the advantage, disadvantage, and danger of parallel replication.Parts
