Full Description
This book introduces Paradox Management Theory (PMT), a groundbreaking framework which blends Chinese philosophical wisdom with modern management strategies. PMT helps companies achieve long-term sustainability by balancing competing demands, such as stability and innovation.
Rooted in dialectical materialism, PMT reframes businesses as dynamic systems in which paradoxes, for example, control versus flexibility or competition versus collaboration, drive growth. The book critiques short-term, profit-centric models and explains why many firms falter despite early success. It also reveals how enduring Chinese enterprises thrive by harmonizing contradictions. Spanning six chapters, the book unpacks PMT's core principles, analyzes sustainable growth strategies and presents a uniquely Chinese management model enriched with real-world case studies. By integrating philosophy, science and actionable practices, this work empowers leaders to increase their adaptability, maintain their competitive advantage, and overcome complex market challenges.
Ideal for business leaders, management scholars and policymakers, this book bridges the gap between the theory and practice of sustainability and organizational studies. Librarians and corporate trainers will appreciate its global relevance, especially for those interested in cross-cultural management or alternatives to Western-centric frameworks.
