Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between management innovation and effective sustainability: a study of KAM wire industries Nigeria limited, Ilorin, kwara state. Employing a quantitative research methodology, a survey research design was used to gather data from a sample of 70 employees across diverse roles in the organization. A structured questionnaire, featuring a Likert scale for response measurement, was the primary tool for data collection. Stratified random sampling ensured comprehensive representation, while descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, Pearson correlation, and regression analyses, performed using SPSS, provided insights into key research questions. The results highlight a strong positive correlation between management innovation and both technological innovation and sustainability practices, demonstrating that progressive management strategies foster technological advancements that enhance sustainability efforts. Additionally, significant challenges and success factors for integrating these innovations for sustainability were identified, including barriers such as resistance to change and cost, alongside critical success factors like leadership support and alignment with strategic goals. The study concludes that the synergy between management and technological innovation substantially improves organizational performance metrics, such as productivity, efficiency, and employee satisfaction, underscoring the importance of integrated innovation strategies for sustainability. Key recommendations for KAM wire industries include strengthening management innovation, prioritizing technological investments, embedding sustainability into strategic planning, fostering cross-departmental collaboration, and implementing ongoing impact assessments. The study's limitations, such as the single-company focus and cross-sectional design, are discussed, with suggestions for future research emphasizing longitudinal studies, industry comparisons, and qualitative approaches to deepen understanding.
