The Dialectical Integration between Classical and Digital Theories: A Hybrid Management Model for Vuca Environments

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to propose a hybrid adaptive management model that arises from the dialectical integration between classical theories and digital paradigms. The study identifies a research gap by pointing out that, although the literature has addressed the challenges of the VUCA environment and the emergence of new approaches, it has failed to systematically articulate a synthesis that reconciles the structural soundness of traditional theories with the agility and resilience of digital paradigms. The methodology consists of an integrative narrative review of the literature. The novelty lies in the proposal of this dialectical integration as an epistemological imperative. This approach goes beyond the mere description of both paradigms and develops a framework of articulation that does not nullify classical principles, but rather enhances them with the capabilities of digital approaches. As its main theoretical contribution, the article presents a conceptual management model that allows organisations not only to withstand uncertainty, but to thrive in it, establishing a bridge between tradition and the avant-garde. The model demonstrates how stability and innovation can coexist, becoming the axis of a new organisational praxis.
