We receive a large number of manuscripts for possible publication in this journal. In reviewing them, we find that the bulk of them are from the area of crop sciences, livestock production and allied fields that have used experiments as the research strategy. The minority that falls in to the areas of agribusiness, agricultural economics and extension have used survey strategy. There is a lack of utilizing other research strategies in current research. Research has to be commenced with a clear direction and a clearly identified study process. These are primarily provided by its research strategy (Wedawatta, 2011). There are numerous strategies that a researcher can adopt to achieve the objectives of a particular research study. Some common research strategies are; experiment, survey, archival analysis, ethnography, action research, narrative inquiry, and the case study. This paper explains what a case study is and outlines the components of a case study. The Nature of a Case Study Yin (2003) defines case study as 'an empirical inquiry that investigates a contemporary phenomenon within its real-life context, especially when the boundaries between phenomenon and context are not clearly evident'. A phenomenon and context are not always distinguishable in real-life situations. Therefore, a case study uses a large number of variables of interest than data points; and essentially relies on multiple sources of evidence for data triangulation. A historical viewpoint on case study strategy is presented in Tellis (1997). According to Yin (2003), case studies can be exploratory, explanatory or descriptive. Research in social sciences deals with interactions between institutions and human behaviour. These can be best studied in real-life settings and contexts. Sometimes an inquiry may be undertaken on an individual organization with a limited or a narrow population. These suggest qualitative investigations which are assessments of attitudes, opinions and behaviour (Kothari and Garg, 2018). These qualitative investigations are characteristic with the case study strategy. Whilst often been identified as interpretivist, case studies can also be used in positivistic research (Saunders et al. 2012).

Third, I enjoy how Yin compares case study to other forms of research. I understand much more clearly now how this form of research is similar to, but also different from other methods. Finally, I applaud Yin's decision to only include information that is specific to case study, and leave general information to general methodology textbooks. 71
Yin [19] defines a case study in term of two attributes: (i) scope; and (ii) features. In terms of the scope, a case study is an in-depth examination ofareal event whosecause isnotfullyunderstoodandis analyzed taking into consideration all the conditions or circumstances that created the event. In terms of the features, a case study copes

Within a case study research, one may study a single case or multiple cases. Single case studies are most common in case study researches. Yin (2014, p. 59) says that single cases are 'eminently justifiable' under certain conditions: (a) when the case under study is unique or atypical, and hence, its study is revelatory, (b) when the case ...
