This special issue represents the first effort to bridge paradox theory and historical analysis further. Its goal is to create a fertile environment for advancing the historical study of organisations by contributing to discussions on various research topics where organisations, paradoxes, and temporality intersect. Defining organisational paradoxes as interdependent contradictions that persist over time contains an immediate plea for applying historical thinking and methodologies. The collection of papers included in this special issue illustrates that exploring paradoxes in business history is a promising research avenue
