The paper presents one of the most unique and, on the other hand – most frequently used – social research strategies – a case study. Analysing the randomly picked 25 final works, written by Vilnius Business College students, back in 2013, some features of methodological unity are discussed and also compared within these final thesis. Case study research was mainly developed and based in the areas of economy, law and business. Even though there is no deeper analysis neither on how students interpret the case study research strategy nor why they would chose such a way of exploring business environment, however, some of those peculiarities could be drawn and highlighted. Besides, some of the findings are seen as the possible future surveys and main streams of even assuring study quality at the College. Also findings have revealed the fact that in most of business and management program final projects students were choosing a case study approach while surveying separate company’s contexts, though in some aspects a broader contextualization was missing.
