The aim of the study is to identify strategists’ approaches to paradoxes associated with strategic management in organizations under conditions of increased uncertainty. In pursuit of this goal, it is crucial to both identify strategists’ opinions on paradoxes and explore their experiences in applying them in the practice of strategic management. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach, employing in-depth interviews with strategists (n = 18). The research findings indicate that, in conditions of heightened uncertainty, strategists employ solutions and practices characteristic of a paradoxical approach. This reflects a significant shift in the application of paradoxical perspectives under conditions of high environmental uncertainty, triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences.

Celem opracowania jest identyfikacja podejścia strategów do paradoksów związanych z zarządzaniem strategicznym organizacją, w warunkach wzmożonej niepewności. W ramach celu istotne jest zidentyfikowanie zarówno opinii strategów na temat paradoksów, jak i doświadczeń w ich wykorzystaniu w praktyce zarządzania strategicznego. Badanie prowadzone było w podejściu jakościowym z wykorzystaniem pogłębionych wywiadów ze strategami (n = 18). Wyniki badań wskazują, że w warunkach wzmożonej niepewności stratedzy stosują rozwiązania i praktyki charakterystyczne dla podejścia paradoksalnego. Ukazuje to istotną zmianę w zastosowaniu optyki paradoksów w warunkach dużej niepewności otoczenia, wywołanej pandemią COVID-19 i jej następstwami.
