Qualitative case study research yields large amounts of data; therefore, it was critical to
maintain this data in an organized and timely fashion (Merriam, 1998; Stake, 1994; Yin, 2003).
As a way to organize and manage this data, I conducted the analysis throughout the entire study.
According to Merriam (1998), the “right way” to do qualitative research is to simultaneously
collect and conduct preliminary analysis of data (p.162).
