How can organizational researchers and practitioners creatively work with and reconcile core paradoxes facing organizations in the 21st century? Within the writings of the world's spiritual traditions there are varying ways of using the creative imagination to: 1) work with the inner worlds of possibility which are present, though often latent, in each person; 2) make use of the valuable feelings that come from the experience of paradoxical tensions; 3) authentically embody wisdom at work; and 4) provoke individuals to search within to find sustainable ways to resolve the paradox of being profitable and over the long term. This symposium intends to engage and provoke attendees to explore the sustainable paradoxes related to the dual demands for profitability and long term sustainability. The overall aim is to investigate how we can recognize and re-imagine the paradoxes and competing values facing both leaders and individuals in profit- oriented organizations. | Search Terms: | sustainability , paradoxes , wisdom | |
We hope you will be able to attend AOM this year and that you will join this session.
Please remember that whether or not you are able to attend AOM this year, you can download the papers for any PAPER session at least up until the end of the annual meeting (alas, this session is a symposium, so I guess you need to show up in person). (I think after a while they stop making those papers available on the AOM program site, but I could be wrong.)
Warm regards,
Jim

For me personally, and in alignment with Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato Si' (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2105201-laudato-si-inglese.html), there is now a new - fourth - tenet of Jesuit education. "'Care for God's creation' or perhaps 'tending the earth'" has now joined the centuries old "care for the whole person (cura personalis), men and women for others (homines pro aliis), and excellence/continuing improvement (magis)."
