ABSTRACT Cunha, M. P., and Putnam, L. L. (2017. Paradox theory and the paradox of success. Strategic Organization. http://dx.doi.org/10.l177/1476127017739536) argued that paradox research has fallen victim to its own success. In a race for institutionalization, paradoxes have putatively been removed from their natural habitat and ‘tamed,’ as the search for best practices has decontextualized, abstracted, and reified them. This essay responds to Cunha and Putnam by first cataloguing various interventions based in paradox and, relatedly, dialectics and then addressing the issues surrounding their oversimplification. If, as research suggests, paradoxes are so embedded in the daily actions and interactions of organizational life that they become difficult to spot or are too intertwined in systems of contradictions, how should we be thinking about interventions, including those less inclined to make a deep dive into context?

思考：将悖论归还野性？悖论干预及其含义

摘要Cunha，MP和LL.Putnam（2017.悖论理论与成功悖论。战略组织。http://dx.doi.org/10.l177/1476127017739536）认为悖论研究已成为其自身成功的受害者。在一场制度化的竞赛中，悖论被推定为从其自然栖息地中移出并被“驯服”，因为寻求最佳实践的过程使它们脱上下文，抽象化和具体化。本文针对库纳和普特南，首先对各种干预措施进行了分类，这些干预措施既有悖论，也有与辩证法有关的，然后解决了过于简单化的问题。正如研究表明的那样，如果悖论如此深入地嵌入到组织生活的日常行为和互动中，从而使它们变得难以发现或在矛盾体系中交织在一起，
