Philip Larkin in his famous poem about parents suggested that the relationships within a family are the source of both joy and despair and that the tension between these two feelings is what gives individual families their unique quality. This perspective on tensions, paradoxes and opposing positions underpins the philosophy of this special edition; rather than seeing these characteristics as things which require reconciliation and rationalisation, we accept them as fundamentally positive characteristics of inquisitive life. The modern political response to this kind of conflict is triangulation where opposing views are defined in terms of their extreme nature and a subsequent position is justified between the two on the basis of sensibility and consensus. We do not aim to either reconcile or compromise on the debates and discussions in the articles in this special edition but, with a degree of good temper and moderation, we hope to describe, engage and further some of the arguments. 410 0$aManagement decision ;$v45, no. 1. 606 $aManagement 606 $aBusiness planning 615 0$aManagement. 615 0$aBusiness planning. 676 $a658.4;658.4012 701 $aAdcroft$b Andy$01672483 701 $aDhaliwal$b Spinder$01672484 701 $aMiller$b Graham$0523469 701 $aWalsh$b Phil$01672485 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821009503321 996 $aTheory and practice, strategy and sustainability$94035849 997 $aUNINA
