Abstract

Given calls for more cognitive approaches to investigate the underlying tensions of paradoxes, we administered a psychological methodology (grounded in Personal Construct Theory) to elicit the bi-polar constructs of top managers' strategic work during organizational change. We conclude by advocating the importance of paradoxical thinking as a core managerial competency.
