sorry to be the guy that gets picky about words, but i think you mean contention rather than paradox

  Whoops -- yep, you're right! (In my defense, it's very early and I'm very bad at words.)

    I actually think "paradox" is a perfectly acceptable word in the context used. The common usage meaning - contradiction - is particularly apropos. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox edit: fixed nasty typo

      But also the "paradox" in this situation is that it's perfectly doable to meet the contradictory needs of value for customers and profit for investors at once. Many such dilemmas have paradoxical both/and solutions.

      I'd say "conflict" is better term than contradiction or paradox, since we're talking interests and desires rather than logical propositions.

  Never apologise for trying to make sense out of the world.
