triangulation

I think one of the solution to bring the opeartion research methods and research closer to real life is to triangulate the OR research findings with other research methods like case study. I am researching this and hopefully write about it more later.

Paper suggestion

One of the very ew papers discussing the case study method in Operations Management. Highly recommended!
