Research

Research overview

Manto’s research focuses on organizational paradoxes – how organizational leaders, teams and individuals effectively respond to competing demands and resulting tensions. She studies paradoxes predominantly in innovation management and corporate (re)branding, but also in entrepreneurship and other areas. The theoretical lens that she employs varies depending on the study, but Manto enjoys using an identity lens. She also enjoys conducting multi-level studies.
