Appendix A.
Case studies research design
This “methodological” appendix has been included to provide information on the research design and methods employed in conducting the case studies featured in the e-book, with two main goals. First, we wanted to show that the findings we reported were the result of a systematic and rigorous empirical research. Second, we hope other researchers interested in conducting case studies of entrepreneurial educators to benefit from our experience.
Since we expect that not all the readers will be interested in this level of detail, we chose to simply provide here with the link to the online document we created for this Methodological Appendix, along with its Table of Contents.
