The ever-evolving complexity, fluidity, and instability of the environment, coupled with the shifting demands, pose significant challenges for both enterprises and higher education institutions. Higher education institutions recognize the immense value of their primary product, knowledge, as a catalyst for innovation, development, and the fundamental basis for internal transformations to adapt to the ever-changing requirements of our times. Attempts to explain the collaborative process between higher education institutions and businesses from an institutional perspective often fail to fully capture the intricate nature of this partnership.

The purpose of this book is to develop a comprehensive model approach to managerial competencies that influence the innovativeness of enterprises. It aims to identify both internal and external key factors that either strengthen or limit the impact of managerial competencies on an enterprise's innovative capabilities, encompassing areas such as organizational structure, strategy, organizational culture, and more. This resource will be of immense value to researchers, academics, and students in the fields of entrepreneurship, innovation, management, strategy, and particularly to organizations that are acutely aware of their operating conditions in the knowledge-based economy and the profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the acceleration of the digital transformation of the contemporary world.
