In Pursuit of (Sometimes Opposing) Values: Exploring the Intersection of Values and Paradox

Values serve as life-guiding principles for individuals, groups, and organizations as they address persistent challenges to survive and thrive. Given this complexity, the values landscape is fertile ground for uncovering and theoretically identifying and exploring fundamental paradoxes—persistent contradictions between interdependent elements. Seeking insights from leading scholars, this symposium aims to unpack the relationship between values and paradox and explore the mutual implications of these concepts for one another and for various applicable domains (e.g., organizational governance, leadership, organizational change, technology commercialization, identity, ethics).
