Abstract Based on the perspective of academic entrepreneur, this paper illustrates the formation mechanism of the paradox of the ambidextrous missions of the academic entrepreneur of contextualized Chinese management studies by integrating the characteristics of academic field into the analytical framework of the contextualization of Chinese management studies. In the case of human resource management discipline, this paper tries to find evidence for the formation mechanism through the bibliometric analysis of human resource management literatures over the period 2014~2019 and the text analysis of specialist opinions of the 14th Five-Year Plan for human resource management. Further, this paper explores the potential solutions to the paradox of the ambidextrous missions under profound changers unseen in a century. It shows that the heterogeneity between Chinese and western culture and Chinese management studies’being off at the edge of the managerial academic field, rather than the supposed existence of inherent vices of contextualized Chinese management studies, intensify the contradictions of the ambidextrous missions leading to the formation of paradox. It is also found that the technology-oriented contextualization is more competent than the culture-oriented contextualization in solving the paradox of the ambidextrous missions.
