Abstract
Due to the technological development witnessed by the world and the open market, Iraqi companies have become unable to maintain their market share and compete with similar foreign companies, so it was necessary to rely on management accounting techniques, so the targeted Kaizen cost technology was TKC, which has a significant impact on improving product quality and rationalizing its cost to achieve competitive advantage The research is to apply a set of practices to improve quality and reduce costs along the product life cycle by adopting modern technologies that contribute to supporting the capabilities of the economic unit to reach the competitive advantage, and the importance of the research is by adopting the targeted Kaizen cost technology and the possibility of its application in the gas filling company to achieve continuous improvement. KC technology is of great importance in managing the quality cost of the product along the product life cycle and determining the methods or ways to rationalize it. The research also recommended the necessity of adopting TKC technology, which includes comprehensive and continuous improvement to achieve the competitive advantage associated with quality and cost.
Abstract
This research aims to analyze the asymmetric impact of the Global Innovation Index (GII) on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in South Korea over the period (2004–2024). It further explores the potential for adapting this experience within the economies of Iraq, Egypt, and Jordan. Utilizing a Nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (NARDL) model, the study examines the dynamics of this relationship in both the short and long runs. The empirical findings reveal a nonlinear cointegration relationship, indicating that the South Korean economy exhibits hyper-sensitivity toward negative innovation shocks. Specifically, a 1% negative shock in innovation leads to a growth contraction of approximately 1.65%, whereas the growth response to positive shocks does not exceed 0.33%. Furthermore, CUSUM and CUSUMQ tests confirmed the structural stability of the model over two decades. The research concludes that the innovation gap in the studied Arab countries necessitates policies that support innovation budgets to ensure the stability of structural growth parameters, independent of fluctuations in traditional sectors.
