A multiple case study was employed in the research study. The choice for multiple cases is appropriate given that Yin (1993) argues, Multiple-case studies should follow a replication, not sampling logic. This means that two or more cases should be included within the same study precisely because the investigator predicts that similar results (replication) will be found. If such replication are indeed found for several cases, you can have more confidence in the overall results. The development of consistent findings, over multiple cases, can then be considered a very robust finding (13).

Examining a number of organizations enhances the accuracy, validity and reliability of the results by capturing the holistic essence of the subject studied.
