Abstract: Abstract It is not a completely new challenge for management studies to constructively cope with contradictions. However, not much attention has been paid to it either. If a businesses wants to (or has to) become more sustainable, decision-makers have to be able to identify and to accept contradictions, and they need to have the ability to cope with them by means of adequate measures. The core problem of coping with contradictions is that there are always trade-offs (mutual negative causalities) which make one objective unachievable. This chapter explains this relation and provides concrete design recommendations. The third part of the book contains considerations on a resource management that does not only refer to an efficient application of resources but also to a sustainable supply of resources.
