Resum	Interpretive multiple case study is a qualitative research design in which the researcher studies two or more bounded cases in depth, using an interpretivist stance to understand how participants construct meaning within each setting. Rather than seeking law-like generalizations, it aims to generate rich, context-sensitive understanding that is then compared across cases to reveal patterns, contrasts, and theoretical insights.	Interpretive grounded theory is a qualitative methodology that builds substantive theory inductively from data while working from an interpretivist epistemological stance. Developed most fully by Kathy Charmaz, it holds that researcher and participant co-construct meaning, that categories are created rather than discovered, and that the resulting theory is one plausible account among others rather than an objective rendering of social reality.
