The book Interdisciplinary Dialogues on Organizational Paradox is a groundbreaking two-part volume that delves into the complexities of paradox within organizational studies. This work enhances our comprehension of paradox by integrating insights from various disciplines. In Part B, the narrative continues to explore the motivations, methodologies, and contexts surrounding interdisciplinary research in paradox theory, focusing on the domains of social structure and human expression.

Each chapter features unique commentaries from thought leaders who expand on and critically assess the core ideas presented in the volume. These insights provide a richer understanding of how interdisciplinary approaches can illuminate the intricacies of paradox in organizational contexts.

The chapters are further enriched by reflective commentaries from notable scholars like Charles Hampden-Turner and Ann Langley. The collection concludes with a discussion on the origins of interdisciplinary foundations in organizational paradox theory, highlighting the conversations with seminal scholars in the field.
