This study examines the role of cooperative management in strengthening cooperative entrepreneurship to enhance competitiveness and organizational sustainability. Many cooperatives in Indonesia still operate under traditional management patterns and have not optimally integrated entrepreneurial orientation into their managerial practices. This research employs a qualitative approach using a systematic literature review (SLR) design. Data were collected from scientific journals, academic books, and conference proceedings related to cooperative management and entrepreneurship through national academic databases. The data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis to identify major themes, including managerial competence, member participation, business ethics, market orientation, innovation strategies, and cooperative performance. The findings reveal that effective cooperative management integrates managerial training, ethical values, market orientation, member participation, and innovation strategies as key components of entrepreneurial development. Cooperatives that combine formal management functions with entrepreneurial orientation tend to be more adaptive, innovative, and capable of generating added economic value for their members. The study concludes that strengthening entrepreneurial-based cooperative management is essential to improve performance and ensure sustainable growth in a competitive economic environment.
