Abstract: The objective of this research was to identify, analyze and systematize theoretical contributions of the case study as a research method. This is done with the purpose of filling a gap in the literature about family businesses that uses such method but have not described it. To examine the issue, we created an interdisciplinary documentary research. We include aspects including concept, design typology, reliability, generalization and steps to follow in research through this method. The results provide a systematized description about the nature of the method to research family business. Finally, among other things, we conclude that such a method is useful to know in depth the intermingled reality of the family business and enrich the research and knowledge of the same.
