AI-Enhanced Case Study Research: Foundations, Design, and Ethical Practice offers a comprehensive and contemporary guide to conducting case study research in the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence. Bringing together international scholars from Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas, this volume explores the theoretical foundations, methodological design, analytical strategies, and ethical considerations that shape rigorous case study inquiry. The book examines key distinctions between case study and other qualitative approaches, the philosophical roots of the method, and the conditions under which case study research is most effective. It also introduces emerging practices such as AI-assisted research design, the use of generative AI tools in drafting case narratives, and new perspectives on validity, triangulation, and researcher reflexivity. Combining methodological rigor with practical guidance, this volume serves as a valuable resource for graduate students, researchers, and educators seeking to integrate traditional qualitative inquiry with innovative digital tools while maintaining strong ethical and scholarly standards.
