讲座内容摘要：

Paradox management is critical to a firm’s competitiveness in product innovation, which is characterized by high-level complexity, dynamism, uncertainty, and resource scarcity. Despite a surge of research on organizational paradoxes in recent years, there is still a lack of a holistic and dynamic framework of paradox management in the context of product innovation. Through a qualitative study of 72 managers in 17 high-tech firms in China, we explicate a holistic and dynamic model of paradox management with specific stages and mechanisms. We find that in the first stage of the dynamic process of paradox management, initiated by contextual triggers, the decision-makers frame the nature of paradox from latent to salient based upon the microfoundations of personal capabilities and values. In the second stage, they enact distinctive approaches to paradox management according to their framing of the paradoxical tension. Importantly, we find that when the tension in a paradox is within the scope of decision-makers’ microfoundations, they tend to enact the approach of regular balancing; yet if the paradoxical tension exceeds the scope of their microfoundations, they often enact the approach of transformative balancing by relaxing the core constraints underlying paradoxical tensions toward innovative outcomes. Finally, we unpack the inherent links between specific approaches to paradox management and specific dimensions and types of dynamic capability.
