Zhrnutie	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.	Ethnography is a qualitative research tradition in which a researcher immerses themselves in a social group or community over an extended period — typically three to six months or longer — to study its culture, values, and behaviours in their natural setting. Originating in social and cultural anthropology, and consolidated as a rigorous method by Bronisław Malinowski in the early twentieth century, ethnography produces rich, contextualised accounts of how people live, work, and make meaning together.
