Összefoglaló	Embedded case-focused mixed methods design combines a case-study unit of analysis with an embedded mixed methods structure, nesting one smaller data strand — typically qualitative — within a dominant primary strand — typically quantitative — all organized around one or more bounded cases. This design enables researchers to answer within-case questions at multiple levels, capturing both statistical patterns and rich contextual meaning for a specific case or set of cases.	Case study research is a qualitative research design that investigates a specific phenomenon, individual, group, organisation, or event in depth within its real-world context. Systematised by Robert K. Yin in 1984, it supports single-case and multiple-case designs and draws on multiple data sources — interviews, observation, documents, and artefacts — to build a rich, contextualised account of a bounded unit.
