Case Studies

Case Studies can be a helpful tool to use when exploring a company or a particular issue related to business and corporations. If you're research a specific issue or company, you can get started searching in conjunction with the search term "case studies". This may be searched as a keyword or as a subject heading. 

For example, I'm interested in exploring the ethics of fracking and exploring if there are specific examples of case studies related to fracking. Different searches I might try would include the following:

  • fracking AND ethics
  • hydraulic fracturing AND ethics (you definitely want to try variations of a term; this is the official terminology)
  • fracking AND case studies
  • (fracking OR hydraulic fracturing) AND ethics AND case studies

You can also enter a company or individual name to search for case studies.  

For the best results, use the Business Power Search located on the "Finding Journal Articles" page of this guide.
