Appreciative Inquiry as a Process of Generative Theory Building

Abstract

AI is an ideal methodology for building generative theory on a range of topics which can be classified into two categories: theories turned inward and theories turned outward. The research areas which AI influences include the research purpose, the topics chosen to study, the questions asked, and the process of analysis. When looking at their data, researchers using AI to generate theory should be encouraged not to look for ‘any old theme’ or category, but to search for the themes and concepts that hold the greatest potential to promote social and organizational flourishing.
