Abstract

In this chapter Graf discusses how she applied the pragmativist ideology using an integrated critical analysis with multiple case studies. This method applies the critical analysis literature review and interpretive critical thinking techniques (from the perspective of the researcher), as a multiple case study (N = 4). The cases were drawn from business, engineering, health care industries and from higher education. The unit of analysis in the research strategy was the “creative use of critical thinking skills in critical analysis across four case studies,” an inductive within-group focus (since there was an overall analysis and not a comparison between cases). The level of analysis was the organization. The generalization target was to all practitioner-scholars in academia and in organizations intending to use these methods.
