Una reflexión ex post facto sobre la conducción de estudios multicaso para la construcción de teoría en ciencias de gestión [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Unique and multiple case studies have effectively demonstrated their potential contribution for theory-building in Management Sciences. Several researchers who support this statement appeal to the concepts and orientations proposed by Yin (1994, 2014) and Stake (2006), especially, since these authors have become a frequent referent for research works based on case studies. An experience in the planning, execution and analysis of a multi-case study, under a scenario of limitations with researchers and the lack of background initial models, is used for depicting a specific route towards the search of theoretical constructions on this phenomenon. As a result, it is concluded that the development of this type of studies does not always follow a deliberate initial planning, nor obeys the logic of replication. Instead, case study reports are the result of further rationalization processes that hide or skip doubts, changes in orientation and approaches, failed trials, particularities of companies and participants object of study, and the permanent adaptation to unforeseen events. A set of learned lessons is proposed in order to formulate some recommendations transferable to other research situations.
