The study examines the role of innovation abilities as a strategic management factor in sustaining competitive advantages. The main research questions addressed include: What are the key features of innovation capabilities that influence organizational resilience and technological adaptability? How do companies leverage investments in innovation to improve sustainability? A systematic literature review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines, analyzing empirical studies published between 2020 and 2025. Data were sourced from Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and ResearchGate, with an initial selection of 350 articles, from which 59 papers met the inclusion criteria for meta-analysis and quantitative synthesis. The findings identified various approaches for managing innovation challenges, including adaptation of R&D, open innovation, agile development, knowledge management, digitalization, and ecosystem integration. The suggestions highlight improvements in risk minimization, operational efficiency and decision-making processes. The findings suggest that strategic partnerships and technological integration in evolving business environments offer substantial benefits.
