| Summary |
This study focuses on employing the case study research method approach using only secondary data. This method was used to study an institutional change in the petroleum exploration and production sector in India where the institution, once modified, gradually reverted near to its pre-change state. Since the main interest was on an event that occurred in the past, our emphasis was on accessing reliable secondary data sources that were representative of the different stakeholders involved, captured their varying perspectives, and provided a rich, detailed understanding of the events. Thus, in order to address the multidimensional nature of the phenomenon, we included relevant data from government reports, newspaper articles, magazines, and academic articles for our study. We further employed a narrative approach, with institutional theory providing the theoretical understanding to address our research objective. This case discusses challenges of using secondary data in case study research and provides solutions on dealing with them. Further, this case provides suggestions on how readers who intend to engage in similar types of research using secondary data could improve upon validity and reliability-related concerns with respect to this method. |
