Das empirische Forschungsdesign dieser Arbeit sollte sich in erster Linie an der Forschungsfrage bzw. dem damit verbundenen Forschungsziel orientieren. Hierfür kommen, wie bereits innerhalb des Abschnitts 1.2.2 angedeutet, insbesondere Fallstudien in Form des ,embedded single-case design’ in Frage, da hierdurch u.a. dem komplexen Phänomen einer wissensintensiven Dienstleistungsgründung am ehesten entsprochen werden kann, zumal sich dieses Vorgehen mit dem in dieser Arbeit ganzheitlich gewählten Erklärungsansatz zur Beantwortung der Forschungsfrage deckt.
