Article Abstract:
It is vital that companies frequently question assumptions about structures, strategies and business processes if they are to continue to grow. Organizational inquiry of this kind can be particularly valuable in creating competitive advantage if it is brought together within a single unifying concept. Companies seeking to use the discipline of organizational inquiry to bring about transformation must be aware that different kinds of questions produce qualitatively different results.
