APPLICATION OF THE RECENT DYNAMIC ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES IN THE CASE STUDY
Aleksandar Halmi
Abstract
Although case studies are not nearly as widespread and frequent in Croatia as in North American and most European countries, due to their indisputable social and scientific-methodological significance, the need for a more comprehensive scientific analysis of their current methodological and cognitive range occurred in our country as well. Even a superficial monitoring of our research practice reveals that the case studies realised so far considerably differ, both by the level of their scientific justification and the general validity of the obtained results. In this paper, the author tries to find and apply brand new research techniques for this multileveled and dynamic matter, which mainly derive from the theory of chaos and non-linear dynamics.
Keywords
