- Title
Managing Creative Firms by Adopting a Paradox Framework: The Case of Studio Libeskind.
- Authors
Manzoni, Beatrice; Caporarello, Leonardo
- Abstract
Studio Libeskind is one of the few internationally recognized architectural firms that have managed to be successful both artistically and economically. This article explores the managerial approach behind this success, which arises from how the Studio copes with several managerial challenges on a daily basis. First the article explores what these challenges are (creating a high-level symbolic project that is also profitable; projecting the lead architect's views while incorporating the ideas of clients and other architects; making architecture musical, structured and emotional at the same time; balancing the interplay of innovation and tradition) and how Studio Libeskind manages them. Then it frames these challenges as paradoxes-contradictory yet interrelated elements-and proposes a set of management approaches for accepting and resolving them. These approaches offer inspiration and recommendations for other creative organizations.
