Abstract

The basic aim of the article is to present the specificity and complexity of strategic management using the paradox concept. Nowadays, when globalization, innovations, hypercompetition, and social demands are creating more and more dynamic and complicated business environments, the idea of paradox is becoming an important research tool to understand and manage modern organizations. The concept of paradox as a metatheoretical perspective offers a solid research ground for management sciences, allowing for a deeper understanding of the structure, relations, and dynamics of surrounding organizational tensions, while enriching the existing theories and theory processes. On the basis of a literature review, an original taxonomy of paradoxes in strategic management was presented.
