Summary:

Using an embedded Delphi multiple case study was a non-traditional design to examine three entrepreneurial organizations who intentionally hired and retained people with disabilities. Examining real-world organizations provides opportunities for students to gain exposure to case analysis. As Yin suggests, case study uses multiple methods for data generation as was demonstrated in this study. A multiple case design allowed for the patterns that potentially exist to be examined through comparison between and within the three entrepreneurial organizations. The topics for consideration in using the Delphi technique for data collection embedded in a multiple case study focus on transparency of the researcher, anonymity of the participants, rapport building as a means for participant retention, networking strategies, and timeline issues. The expert panel, as established in using the Delphi technique, was used to provide consensus on the strategies used to hire and retain workers with disabilities in small entrepreneurial organizations.
