Abstract

The transformation of the agricultural sector through modern technology requires strong adaptive leadership and managerial innovation, particularly in the context of agritech startup development operating within dynamic and complex environments. This study aims to comprehensively examine the relationship between adaptive leadership and managerial innovation in supporting the growth and sustainability of agritech startups. A systematic literature review was conducted by analyzing 10 international scholarly articles. The selected articles include empirical studies, conceptual reviews, and case analyses relevant to the research focus. The findings indicate that leadership flexibility, technology based innovative strategies, and dynamic organizational models are key elements in the success of agritech startups. These results underscore the importance of synergy between an adaptive leadership vision and innovative management approaches as decisive factors for long-term viability. This study also provides practical implications for stakeholders in the agritech sector to strengthen leadership capabilities and managerial systems in addressing increasingly complex future challenges.
