DISSERTATION TITLE:

Integrating Problem-Based Business Improvement Methods with Strengths-Based Constructionist Methods

This qualitative study explores a generative approach to organizational improvement methodologies through the integration of problem-based and strengths-based methods. To date very little exists in the literature concerning the integration of these methods or the potential benefits derived through their integration. This exploration of integrated improvement methods enables new perspectives and approaches to the development and application of improvement methods (Schultz & Hatch, 1996).
