In this article the authors provide examples of what they consider to be bad research on case studies and explain why the information is not reliable/valid. They go on to provide suggestions for future research (since the first article provided suggestions on how to conduct good research). I wish I had read this article first, the other article would have made more sense. There are still inconsistencies present - for example, they make a point of saying not to use simple self-reporting and then provide results from a survey using self-reported (which they then acknowledge as such) to partially justify the use of case studies because that was all that was available at the time. Still, it makes good points and suggestions for future research, which is the point of these articles.
