“…2.2 Building a sustainable paradigm Paradigms are complex and essential structures that allow knowledge and innovation (Mackenzie & House, 1978;Dosi, 1988). They are also generic standpoints that constrain perceptions and guide practices (Miller, 1991), establishing what is seen as good or bad (Dosi, 1988). Therefore, paradigms can explain the issue of the benefit of innovation and resilience (Foug ere & Meril€ ainen, 2021;Horgan & Dimitrijevi c, 2018;Linnenluecke, 2017) because it drives interests, investment, interpretations and research (Dosi, 1988).…”

“…They cannot be the most efficient option or be based on false assumptions (Mackenzie & House, 1978). Miller (1991) warns that when the social sciences do not challenge their paradigms, they risk losing critical thinking. Fougère and Meriläinen (2021) share Miller´s concerns, facing the dialectic between theory and practice of initiatives aimed at innovation and resilience.…”

“…The change happens within the paradigm. Disruptive innovation arises when some of these elements are replaced (Miller, 1991). Introducing disruptive innovation causes an overall decline in value, causing incumbent organizations to perform worse (Christensen, 1997).…”

PurposeThis study aims to provide an example of the intersections between resilience and innovation within the social economy. It describes the Portuguese context, boosted by a pioneering public policy focused on building resilience through innovation. The sustainable development concept usually sets multilevel relationships among the government, social investors and entrepreneurs. In this sense, the study explores the role of innovation in promoting resilience in initiatives and society that may lead to sustainability.Design/methodology/approachThe authors collected the primary data through semistructured interviews with social investors and an online survey with the invested or awarded entities from 2015 to 2020. The database represents 43.63% of acknowledged Portuguese social innovative initiatives, describing a complex and multilevel result. The case also provides a unique context for deepening the understanding of popular, relevant, but still underdeveloped concepts.FindingsThe results highlight progress in overcoming social and economic challenges. This progress happens through innovative initiatives aiming to solve social problems that reflect collective interests. The data suggest a context dynamization due to an increase of 31.3% in new initiatives. This increase can potentially represent a consistent investment in resilience and sustainable development.Originality/valueThis paper helps to contextualize and structure information for three fragmented concepts. It relies on their combination to compensate for each other frailties, assuming that innovation can be a crucial factor for boosting sustainable development, making possible the countries’ resilience. It also argues that the literature state can result from a paradigm shift, and these features can favor this process toward a better world.

As research and writing on the new paradigm expands into management, the question of whether this research is valid or vacuous becomes more crucial. In this article, a definition of the new paradigm is offered, then its premises and assumptions are carefully analyzed using current philosophy of science. Rather than taking the more common Kuhnian approach, this analysis is based on Taylor's (1992) model of paradigm transitions. The analysis shows that some management research does validly generate a new paradigm. However, much of what is being written under the new paradigm banner does not satisfy criteria that are implied by the notion of a new paradigm. In the conclusion, implications for this assessment are described and a series of questions that can increase the validity and transformative power of new paradigm research in management are offered.
