Summary/Abstract: The main goal of the chapter is to present the concept of institutional paradox. Innovations, hypercompetition and growing social demands create an increasingly dynamic and complex environment. In this situation, the paradox becomes an important concept facilitating the understanding and management of contemporary organisations. Traditional organisation theory assumes that science allows us to objectively discover the truth and formulate recommendations for politicians and managers. The concept of paradox assumes that knowledge and understanding arise from the confrontation of opposing but coexisting dynamic forces in social contexts. Paradox helps in accepting different views and supports tolerance for diversity. The chapter consists of four parts, which present: the concept of paradox, the institutional perspective, the paradoxes of macroeconomic development and the paradoxes of enterprise development.
