| description | Case study and activity analysis involve processes that generally fall into different fields, but that have many similarities. This paper tries to show in how far each activity can be reciprocally enriched from the knowledge and experience acquired in the other.The first part of the paper presents the essential features of case study as a method. It clarifies its relationships with activity analysis and with other methodologies. The second part examines and discusses some characteristic steps of the process common to both methods : choice of the case and purpose of the study, data planning and gathering, data processing and interpretation, and finally, generalization of the conclusions and comparison with existing knowledge. Particular attention has been paid to the analogical reasoning that is clearly present in both processes. The third part of the paper tackles two problems common to both processes, namely the role of the context and the role of the analyst. The last parts presents two methods of analysis from the field of work, which can also be applied directly in various other fields. The conclusion identifies some avenues for research suggested by the comparison of these two processes. |
