Case Study Approaches to Studying Organization Survival and Adaptation

Abstract

Our early knowledge of organized interests was drawn almost entirely from case studies of particular interest organizations and pieces of legislation (e.g. Bauer et al. 1964; Schattschneider 1935). Though large-n statistical studies have become the norm in interest group research, case studies comprise some of the more insightful and influential work on organized interests in the last couple of decades (e.g. Bosso 2005; Brown 1995; Hansen 1991; Rothenberg 1992) and represent the first take at understanding emerging organizations, such as the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street (Gitlin 2012; Martin 2013; Skocpol and Williamson 2013). Here, I discuss what the case study research has to say about the questions motivating population ecology research. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
