| Summary: | This article examines the benefits and limitations of using the client representative case study method in program evaluation research. Specifically, attention is given to the type of rich illustrative data this method can provide, the rigour of the research, and the potential for generalizability of the findings. Limitations of this method are discussed, such as the risk of selection bias, the possibility of collecting historic data that has limited utility for the current operation of the organization, and the possibility of taking too narrow an approach so as to miss examining some lesser used areas of a program. |
