Підсумок	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.	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.
