Resumen

El artículo pretende mostrar, mediante el análisis de casos concretos, los diferentes propósitos a los que puede responder la utilización del "método del caso" como instrumento de experimentación; es decir, trata de ilustrar las posibles vías de investigación que se pueden abordar con este método. Con tal propósito se incluyen en ete trabajo varios estudios de casos realizados por los autores; casos descriptivos, ilustrativos, exploratorios, explicativos y experimentales, así como otros que al hilo dela tipología propuesta se han revisado. Igualmente se intenta poner de manifiesto cuáles son los factores determinantes de la elección metodológica de esta técnica de análisis.
