Abstract

This paper looks at the characteristics of adaptive innovation oversight amidst increasing ambiguity. Conventional methods for managing innovation are not sufficiently potent amid swift shifts, necessitating the adoption of adaptable and nimble governance frameworks. In this setting, the resilience perspective holds special significance, as it secures the steadfastness of enterprises and their capacity to rebound and progress during turbulent times. The objective is to theoretically validate and formulate the tenets of adaptive innovation governance rooted in the resilience concept, alongside pinpointing methods for boosting the firmness and productivity of organizations amidst the imperceptibility and unpredictability of the outer surroundings. The study seeks to discover methods to enhance adaptive innovation governance by incorporating the resilience perspective to boost the steadiness and adaptability of entities amid unpredictability and obscurity in the external environment. Conceptual frameworks for innovation oversight are examined, and their shift under conditions of mounting uncertainty is ascertained. The core of adaptive direction is unveiled, and its function in guaranteeing the potency of organizations' inventive endeavors is affirmed. The notion of resilience as a governance model is explored, and its main attributes in the scope of novel progress are defined. The setting of obscurity is described, and its effect on administrative selection-making procedures is established. Current instruments and methods (Agile, Lean, adaptable frameworks) that guarantee the flexibility of innovation direction are examined. Ways for incorporating the resilience perspective into a company's innovation management structure are established. The effect of corporate resilience on the rivalry and success of inventive endeavors is evaluated. Methodological strategies for judging the performance of flexible innovation management amid unpredictability are created. Actionable suggestions for applying the resilience concept in business operations are drafted, considering contemporary difficulties. Subsequent study ought to target elaborating the examination of real processes for applying the fortitude strategy in the innovation oversight framework. It is sensible to focus particular importance on examining industry-specific traits of employing such methods and how digital advancements affect augmenting corporate durability.
