Podsumowanie	Digital Multiple Case Study is a qualitative research design in which two or more bounded digital cases — such as online communities, social media platforms, virtual organizations, or digital ecosystems — are studied in depth and then compared systematically. Grounded in Yin's case study methodology and adapted for digital settings, the approach combines the contextual richness of single-case inquiry with the analytic leverage of cross-case comparison in online environments.	Netnography is a qualitative research method that adapts the principles of cultural ethnography to the study of online communities and social media environments. Coined by Robert Kozinets in 1997 and systematised in his 2010 handbook, netnography treats digital spaces — forums, social networks, blogs, review sites — as naturally occurring field sites where communities gather, share meanings, and construct identities. The method combines unobtrusive observation of digital traces with active participation and, where appropriate, direct member interaction.
