Abstract

The transformation towards sustainable development demands a collaborative and interdisciplinary management ecosystem. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of multidisciplinary synergy in driving sustainable innovation in Bali, a region with a unique socio-cultural structure. The research approach uses exploratory qualitative methods with in-depth analysis. The results show that multidisciplinary synergy is formed through the interaction of technical, social, and managerial knowledge integrated in the practice of innovation based on the local culture of Tri Hita Karana. Collaborative leadership and adaptive governance are the main catalysts for the successful integration of economic, social, and environmental dimensions. This study contributes theoretically by offering a conceptual model of the Local-Based Multidisciplinary Synergy Framework, which integrates the Quadruple Helix with Balinese local wisdom values. Practically, the research results provide direction for local governments and educational institutions to strengthen the collaborative ecosystem in realizing the SDGs at the local level.
