Upcoming 純怡Media podcasts exploring the relationship of virtue, tech and paradox management. We define "paradox management" according to Dr Elaine Karsaklian, who writes “Paradox management is inherent in the Chinese culture” and “Change is motivated by the internal tension between two opposing forces”. She writes about the land of paradox management (China) in which "development, coherence, and consistency (has been created) out of instability, chaos, and contradiction".

Taking this perspective, Chunyi ventures into the fascinating field of social impact investment, analysing its development via Nordic-China comparisons. She applies paradox management lens, embracing difference positively and sifting for the essence of that "internal tension" between opposites... with the ultimate mission of smart contradiction management in order to build partnerships for the UN 2030 sustainable development goals  - targeting goal number 17.

A funding proposal is under study
