Abstract

The aim of this research note is three-fold: 1) to introduce the concept of paradox and its numerous applications to the study and management challenges associated with the planning and delivery of events, with a specific look at large-scale events like the Olympics to provide an extreme case; 2) to present a new paradox entitled the ‘Global-Glocal Paradox’ that interrogates how inherent global and local stakeholder interests and tensions are managed, and 3) to present a series of conceptual and practical ways events can ‘accommodate’ as opposed to ‘resolve’ this paradox to help balance stakeholder interests instead of pitting one against the other.
