Zhrnutie	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.	Comparative case study is a qualitative research design in which two or more bounded cases are studied in depth and then systematically compared to identify similarities, differences, and patterns across contexts. Rooted in Yin's replication logic and Stake's multiple case framework, it is particularly suited to questions that ask how or why a phenomenon unfolds differently — or similarly — across distinct settings, populations, or time periods.
