- Destructive leadership paradoxesPublication . Cunha, Miguel Pina e; Simpson, Ace Volkmann; Rego, Arménio; Berti, MarcoThe paradoxical side of leadership is being increasingly studied by management and organization scholars. Organizational paradox theory has generally favored a synergistic understanding of paradoxical tensions, seen as opportunities to obtain competitive advantage through the generative integration of opposing but equally desirable results. Less attention has been given to the other side of paradoxical tensions: as destructive forces. We explore this darker side of paradox by discussing how leadership may impose irrational absurdities in the form of pragmatic paradoxes (self-defying demands that cannot be discussed or realized), and suggest ways to mitigate or neutralize their destructive effects.
- New space and the future of capitalismPublication . Cunha, Miguel Pina e; Clegg, Stewart; Rego, Arménio; Berti, MarcoOnce upon a time it was just infinitesimally there. With the dawn of space exploration in the late 1950s it has slowly become apparent that governance of space is necessary. Given important developments in the domain of space exploration and the complex management challenges involved, it is timely to incorporate this domain and its role in the future of capitalism. We explore organization involvement in outer space through a sequence of three conceptual movements. First, we outline the shift from an “Old” view of outer space as a domain for exploration to a “New” perspective that considers space as a resource to be exploited by private capitalistic interests. Second, we advance a typology of the main actors and the logics they bring to the processes of exploration/exploitation. We finally discuss the role of the state in the governance of these important changes.
