This chapter will briefly present the theory of Appreciative Inquiry (AI), a strength-based, affirmative approach to effecting change in social systems. AI deviates from the mindset that an organization is a fixed entity and gravitates to one that sees it as a facilitative entity for people. The chapter briefly reviews the four principles underlying AI: Constructionist, Anticipatory, Poetic, and Positive. The chapter also presents the Appreciative Inquiry process, a four-step process developed around an issue or a topic, and reviews some implications of AI for management.
