Stake identifies three types of case study: intrinsic case study, instrumental case study, and collective case study. An intrinsic case study occurs when the researcher has an intrinsic interest in the case. An instrumental case study occurs when we need to understand the case in order to understand the bigger research question at hand.
The theory contribution of case study research designs
In instrumental case studies, the understanding of phenomena and relationships leads to categorical aggregation, and the focus is on how the phenomenon exists across several cases. Greenwood and Suddaby , for example, used the instrumental case study design by Stake, combining network location theory and dialectical theory. They identified new ...

PDF The utility of case study as a methodology for work-integrated learning
Stake specifically defines three types of case study as intrinsic, instrumental, and collective. An intrinsic case study is when the aim is fundamentally to understand the case. An instrumental case study aims to provides insight into an issue or refine a theory in which the case itself here is secondary and might be atypical of other cases.

Case Study
Whereas, Stake classifies "case study as an intrinsic case study, instrumental case study, multiple case study or collective case study. The intrinsic type of case study is undertaken because of the intrinsic motivation of the researcher. The instrumental case studies provide a base to understand other issues.

An instrumental case study takes a supportive role to deepen our understanding of a larger issue. Collective case study is the study of multiple cases to understand a phenomenon.

Stakian Case Study Research Stake provides a relatively simple case study typology of intrinsic, instrumental and multi-case studies (1995).

My aim to draw broader learning from one particular case led me to conduct an 'instrumental' case study.

The collective case study encompasses more than one case "in order to investigate a phenomenon, population, or general condition" (Stake, 2000, p. 437). Since the purpose is to help advance understanding, a collective case study is a grouping of instrumental case studies (Stake, 2000). Using a collective case study approach can allow for the ...
