Appreciative Inquiry

Research for Change

Beschreibung

Appreciative Inquiry: Research for Change is the first book to explore in depth the issues that arise when appreciative inquiry is used as a research framework, rather than an organizational development tool. Author Jan Reed draws upon her own experience of using Appreciative Inquiry (AI) as a research approach-shaping the asking of questions, the gathering of information, and the communication of ideas.
