Muhtasari	A multiple case-based single case study — also called an embedded single-case design — is a qualitative strategy in which a researcher investigates one bounded case (the primary unit of analysis) by systematically examining multiple embedded sub-units within it. Rather than studying several separate cases for comparison, the design focuses all analytical attention on one overarching case while using variation across its internal sub-units to build a richer, more robust understanding of that single case.	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.
