Multiple case-based netnography
Multiple case-based netnography combines Kozinets's netnographic method — an ethnographic adaptation for online communities — with Yin's multiple case study logic. The researcher systematically collects and interprets naturalistic digital data from two or more distinct online communities or platforms, then conducts within-case analyses and a structured cross-case comparison to identify both shared patterns and context-specific differences. The design is especially powerful for understanding how cultural meanings, consumer practices, or social dynamics vary across different digital contexts.
