Shrnutí	Multiple case-based grounded theory is a qualitative research design that embeds grounded theory's inductive coding logic inside a structured multiple-case framework. Rather than generating theory from a single site or interview pool, researchers iteratively collect and analyze data across two or more purposefully selected cases, using constant comparison both within and across cases until theoretical saturation is reached. The result is a substantive theory grounded in rich, cross-site empirical evidence.	Narrative analysis is a qualitative research method, synthesised canonically by Catherine Kohler Riessman (2008), that examines how individuals storise their lived experiences and construct meaning through the telling. Drawing on life history, biographical, and narrative inquiry traditions, it treats the story itself — not just its content — as the unit of analysis, attending to temporal sequence, plot structure, and the social context in which a narrative is produced.
