While Cavaye does describe some characteristics of a case study method that are employed in case study research—it does not seek to control variables; it looks at a case in its natural context; focuses on (generally) one site; and it uses qualitative, in addition to quantitative, tools and techniques—even these characteristics seem more akin to design than to method (p. 229).  	cache/eblip-27173.htm	txt/eblip-27173.txt
