The Role of Ecosystems in Improving Cooperative Performance in the Education Sector Through Collaboration Strategies and Agile Leadership
Abstract
Objective: This study aims to identify the influence of ecosystems on improving cooperatives' performance within the education sector. It examines the impact of collaboration strategies on enhancing the competitiveness of education-based cooperatives. It explains the contribution of agile leadership in fostering innovation and organizational resilience amid rapid changes in the educational environment and digital transformation. Method: Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method was employed by analyzing peer reviewed scientific articles published between 2018 and 2025, with data obtained from reputable academic databases including Scopus, Crossref, and ScienceDirect. Result: The findings confirm that an ecosystem based approach, supported by effective collaboration strategies and agile leadership, plays a significant role in enhancing the performance and competitiveness of cooperatives in the education sector. These factors contribute to the cooperatives' ability to innovate, adapt to digital challenges, and deliver sustainable value in educational environments. Novelty: The main novelty of this study lies in its conceptualization of cooperative ecosystems in the education sector as strategic platforms. This perspective underscores that collaboration and agile leadership generate competitive advantage and institutional resilience and, more importantly, advance the scientific discourse in education research by strengthening governance, promoting equity, and ensuring sustainability in the digital age.
