AN ADAPTIVE MECHANISM FOR MANAGING INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT IN AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISES IN THE CONTEXT OF CLIMATE, ECONOMIC, AND MILITARY CHALLENGES

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to substantiate theoretically and develop an adaptive management mechanism for the innovative development of agricultural enterprises under climate, economic, and wartime challenges. The research is based on the assumption that increasing environmental uncertainty requires a transition from traditional innovation management to an adaptive system capable of ensuring continuous enterprise development and long-term resilience. The paper summarizes contemporary approaches to innovation management, climate-oriented agriculture, environmental, social, and governance principles, digital transformation, and integrated risk management. The author's contribution consists in developing a conceptual approach to the formation of an adaptive management mechanism that integrates strategic, tactical, and operational decision-making into a unified management system. A structural and logical model is proposed, combining interconnected management subjects and objects, adaptive principles, functional blocks, and a continuous decision-making cycle based on feedback. The mechanism is focused on early identification of external changes, scenario planning, flexible adjustment of innovation priorities, and continuous improvement of managerial decisions. The scientific novelty of the research lies in integrating innovation management, climate adaptation, Climate-Smart Agriculture, environmental, social, and governance principles, digital transformation, and risk management into a single adaptive management framework. The proposed model provides a systematic approach to coordinating innovation activities with sustainability objectives while considering the interaction of climate, economic, military, environmental, and social factors. The practical significance of the study is determined by the possibility of applying the proposed mechanism to develop innovation strategies, form balanced innovation portfolios, improve resource allocation, strengthen adaptive capacity, and increase the resilience and competitiveness of agricultural enterprises. The findings demonstrate that adaptive innovation management creates the preconditions for sustainable development and enhances the ability of agricultural enterprises to respond effectively to complex external challenges.
