Management Organizations and Paradoxes

<p>Paradoxical tensions are persistently inevitable in today’s complex organizational world. Therefore managers should perceive them as a lens through which they see organizations and work through them. Reconciling paradoxes requires understanding their nature and appraising them. It also involves novelty and creativity in implemented tactics. Thus to help managers navigate dualities and contradictions in their organizations <i>Management Organizations and Paradoxes </i>presents a comprehensive overview of implementing the paradox theory from a distinct organizational standpoint in the Central and Eastern European (CEE) context. Beyond theoretical foundations it integrates recent research findings and practical insights providing rich knowledge for managing conflicting demands across diverse organizational dimensions. In addition it unlocks new insights that can enrich academic discourse and guide practitioners in embracing a paradox mindset. It develops less-explored areas such as paradox regarding sustainability in clusters or digital and energy transition. It also explores paradox in human resource management workplace learning diversity equity and inclusion policy. It tests whether paradoxes have regional variation and provides insight from managerial practices in CEE. The authors prove that organizations embracing paradox can expand the scope of their opportunities and thrive.</p><p>This monograph can serve as a scholarly guide for managers academics and Ph.D students encouraging them to analyze and manage organizations from a paradox angle.</p>
