Case study research method is qualitative method but it can be positivist. The mix of techniques is appropriate and some degree of quantification is necessary. Three high\u2010level steps are designed and these steps are developed in the managerial holding companies (research case study).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Findings<\/jats:title>Because of limitations on budget and time, organizations are able to define the processes which are critical to achieve organizations' goals.

Generalization based on this case should be interpreted cautiously and a limitation of the case study should be kept in mind.
