For example, Bresman (2013) uses an interesting
embedded multiple case design, focusing on
two units in a pharmaceutical company, and examining
learning transferred among four successive
projects occurring in each unit (for a total of
eight units of analysis). His inductively derived
four-phase process model of vicarious learning is
replicated across all his cases. This design reflects
Eisenhardt's (1989), Eisenhardt and Graebner's
(2007), and Yin's (2009) recommendations
for building theory from case studies. Similarly,
Bruns (2013) replicates her model of collaborative
research in two different settings involving
multiple groups. Maguire and Hardy (2013) also
compare two different cases of risk assessment
processes, showing how both incorporated similar
bundles of normalizing and problematizing
practices, but how the differential ordering of
these practices led to different consequences for
the construction of risk.
