- Abstract
The article focuses on the Cheney Brothers Silk Manufacturing Company of Manchester, Connecticut, and its application of appreciative inquiry (AI) management. Also listing its achievements, it mentions Cheney's philosophy of friendly work environment supporting multiple generations as its piece-de-resistance, which are emulated even today as positive corporate culture. The author credits his Cheney roots for influencing him, and urges people to learn about ancestral roots.
