Abstract

The current study aims to explore the impact of entrepreneurial orientation as an independent variable — through its dimensions (innovation, risk-taking, proactiveness, autonomy, competitive aggressiveness, and competitive energy) — on business success as a dependent variable. The study focuses on a sample of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Al-Najaf Al-Ashraf Governorate.

To achieve the study objectives, a sample of 123 SMEs in Najaf was selected, and the data were analyzed using the SPSS statistical software. The study reached several conclusions, most notably that SMEs exhibit a strong entrepreneurial orientation, which contributes to better performance through the development of new products and services that meet market needs. The results also showed that reactiveness enhances a company's ability to seize opportunities before competitors, while other dimensions such as autonomy and risk-taking contribute to strengthening competitiveness and achieving success.

Based on these findings, it can be concluded that enhancing entrepreneurial orientation among SMEs in Al-Najaf Al-Ashraf is an effective strategy for improving their performance and increasing their competitiveness in the market. Moreover, the study provides valuable insights for policymakers and decision-makers in supporting these enterprises by providing an enabling environment that fosters innovation, risk-taking, and reactiveness — thereby contributing to sustainable growth and tangible business success.

3- التشجيع على العدالة

تعمل فرص التعلم العادلة على تشجيع العدالة بين الجنسين. عندما يتاح للمرأة الوصول إلى التعليم بنفس الفعالية التي يتاح فيها للرجل، يتم تعزيز فهم المجتمع لأهمية تكافؤ الحقوق والفرص بين الجنسين.

4- تطوير وتحقيق الذات

التعليم يعزز تطوير الذات ويساعد المرأة على تحقيق طموحاتها وأهدافها الشخصية. إن القدرة على التعلم واكتساب المعرفة تمنح المرأة القوة لاكتساب الاستقلال الذاتي وتحديد مسار حياتها.

تظهر هذه النقاط بشكل واضح أن فتح أبواب التعليم أمام المرأة ليس فقط إشاعة للعدالة الاجتماعية وحقوق الإنسان، بل هو استثمار في المستقبل الذي يستفيد منه المجتمع بأسره. التمكين التعليمي للمرأة يمثل أساسًا لتحقيق التنمية المستدامة والتقدم الاجتماعي.

ثانياُ:- تعزيز قدرات ومهارات المرأة من خلال التعليم

تعتبر تعزيز قدرات ومهارات المرأة عبر التعليم خطوة ضرورية نحو بناء مجتمع يستند إلى الابتكار والتميز. يلعب التعليم دوراً حاسماً في تمكين المرأة وتطوير إمكانياتها، مما يعود بالنفع على المجتمع ككل. دعونا نلقي نظرة عن كثب على كيفية تحقيق هذا الهدف:

1- رفع مستوى التأهيل

عندما تحظى المرأة بفرص التعلم، يتاح لها الفرصة لرفع مستوى تأهيلها الأكاديمي والمهني. تكتسب المهارات والمعرفة التي تجعلها قادرة على التحدي والتفوق في مجالاتها المختلفة، سواء في القطاع العام أو القطاع الخاص.

2- تحفيز الابتكار والإبداع

التعليم يشجع على التفكير الإبداعي ويعزز روح الابتكار لدى المرأة. باكتسابها المهارات اللازمة، تصبح المرأة قادرة على المساهمة في حل المشكلات بشكل إبداعي وتقديم فرص جديدة للتطور في مجتمعها.

3- تحقيق التميز في المجالات المتنوعة

تعمل القدرات والمهارات المكتسبة من خلال التعليم على تمكين المرأة وتمكينها من تحقيق التميز في ميادين مختلفة، سواء كانت ذلك في المجال العلمي، الفني، الرياضي، أو غيرها. هذا التميز يسهم في تغيير الصورة التقليدية لــــــــــــ دور المرأة في المجتمع.

4-الإسهام في التنمية المستدامة

عندما تكون المرأة مؤهلة ومتميزة في مجالاتهـــــــا، تسهم في التنمية المستدامة للمجتمع. فقدراتهــــــــا تصبح جزءاً أساسياً من الاقتصاد والتطور الاجتماعي ، وهي تعزز الاستدامة بمشاركتها الفعّالـــــــــــــة في تشكيــــــــــــــــل مستقبل الأجيال.

في نهاية المطاف، يظهر بوضوح أن تعزيز قدرات ومهارات المرأة من خلال التعليم يعتبر استثماراً حقيقياً في المستقبل، و إن تحقيق ذات المرأة لتميزها ينعكس إيجاباً على المجتمع بأكمله، حيث يصبح لديها دور فاعل في الابتكار والتقدم.

إذ تساهم المرأة بفضل قدرتها على الابتكار في إيجاد حلول مستدامة للتحديات العلميةو يمكن لتفكيرها الابتكاري أن يؤدي إلى اكتشافات مهمة وتطوير تقنيات تسهم في تطوير المجتمع.

وإن المرأة تحمل مسؤولية كبيرة في إثراء المجتمع العلمي من خلال البحث والتحليل، بقدرتها على التفكير النقدي والابتكار، تسهم المرأة في تطوير المعرفة البشرية وتحقيق التقدم العلمي.

Abstract

Drugs are among the most serious problems facing modern societies. Their negative effects are not limited to the individual alone but extend to impact all aspects of social, economic, and environmental life. This phenomenon has grown significantly in recent decades, affecting communities regardless of their level of economic or cultural development. Drug abuse is not restricted to a specific group; it spans different ages and social classes, making it a pressing issue to address in order to maintain social stability.

The drug phenomenon arises at a time when the world faces significant challenges in sustainable development, which aims to balance economic growth, social justice, and environmental protection. This is where the danger of drugs lies, as they represent an obstacle to achieving these goals. Addiction leads to a decline in the economic productivity of individuals and societies, increases the burden on the healthcare system, and exacerbates crime and violence, hindering efforts to improve the quality of life and achieve social justice.

At the same time, drug trafficking contributes to environmental destruction through the excessive exploitation of land and pollution resulting from illegal drug manufacturing and trade. Therefore, sustainable development cannot be achieved in any society without implementing effective strategies to combat the drug phenomenon and reduce its negative impacts.

Abstract

يعد التحول الرقمي من أهم المحركات التي أعادت تشكيل بيئة الأعمال في الاقتصاد المعاصر، حيث أسهمت التقنيات الرقمية في خلق فرص جديدة لرواد الأعمال لتأسيس مشاريع مبتكرة وتقديم منتجات وخدمات بطرق أكثر كفاءة ومرونة. وفي هذا السياق، أصبحت ريادة الأعمال مرتبطة ارتباطاً وثيقاً بالتكنولوجيا الرقمية، مما أدى إلى ظهور نماذج أعمال جديدة تعتمد على الابتكار والسرعة في الاستجابة لمتطلبات السوق.

تشير ريادة الأعمال إلى عملية إنشاء وتطوير مشاريع جديدة تعتمد على الابتكار وتحمل المخاطر بهدف تحقيق قيمة اقتصادية واجتماعية. ويتميز رائد الأعمال بالقدرة على استثمار الفرص وتحويل الأفكار إلى مشاريع ناجحة تسهم في خلق فرص العمل وتحفيز النمو الاقتصادي.

أما التحول الرقمي فهو هو عملية دمج التقنيات الرقمية في مختلف الأنشطة الاقتصادية والإدارية، بما يؤدي إلى تغيير جذري في طريقة عمل المؤسسات وتقديم الخدمات. ويشمل ذلك استخدام التقنيات الحديثة مثل الذكاء الاصطناعي، الحوسبة السحابية، تحليل البيانات الضخمة، والتجارة الإلكترونية.

Abstract

الجامعات العصرية اليوم لم تعد تقتصر على التعليم ، بل امتد دورها للمساهمة في الناتج المحلي الاجمالي ووضع أسس بناء مجتمع المعرفة للمستقبل.

وقد شهد العقد الأخير في التعليم العالي العالمي تحولاً جذرياً في النظم الإدارية الجامعية والثقافة التنظيمية لتواكب العولمة والمكانة الدولية بين المؤسسات التعليمية ، وشاع الانسحاب الجزئي من الاعتماد على الدعم الحكومي الكامل، والخدمة المحلية إلى الاستثمار المعرفي والتسويق الدولي.

هذا المفهوم الجديد الذي بدأ يتشكل علمياً في بداية الألفية الجديدة ، الذي يدعو إلى أن أحد أهم الأدوار الرئيسة للجامعة الريادية ، المساهمة في التنمية الاقتصادية من خلال إطلاق المشاريع الابتكارية المنتجة.

ان الجامعة الريادية Entrepreneurial university هي الجامعة التي يمكنها الابتكار والتعاون واغتنام الفرص والاستجابة بنجاح للصعوبات.

وستتمكن الجامعات الريادية من البقاء في سوق تنافسية للغاية ، إذا كانت لديها خطط واضحة لإثبات التميز في التدريس والبحث العلمي وريادة الأعمال.

كما تسعى الجامعات الريادية إلى أن تصبح جامعات "قائمة بذاتها" تلعب دورًا مهمًا وتقدم وتدعم مختلف تدابير الدعم لأنشطة ريادة الأعمال من خلال التعاون الوثيق مع الشركاء والشبكات مع مؤسسات القطاعين العام والخاص من خلال الاستثمار في رأس مالها الاجتماعي من أجل تسهيل إنشاء واستثمار المعرفة والتكنولوجيا.

وتعرف الجامعة الريادية على انها الجامعة التي تركز على التأثير الاقتصادي للمساهمات المجتمعية، وتنمية ريادة الأعمال في التعليم، وتسويق البحوث.

فيما يعرف التعليم الريادي بأنه: مجموعة من الأنشطة تهدف إلى رعاية العقليات والمهارات الريادية، كما يغطي مجموعة واسعة من جوانب أخرى مثل ( توليد الفكرة، النمو، والابتكار، فينبغي على التعليم الريادي ان يطور قيم ومعتقدات واتجاهات الطلبة، بحيث ينظرون لريادة الأعمال كخيار جذاب للعمل .

ويمكن القول بأنه جملة من أنماط التعليم المنتظم، الذي يقوم على تعليم وتدريب المشاركين في برامج التنمية المختلفة، والمتمثلة في وضع برنامج توعوي بأهمية الريادة ومن ثم تأسيس وتطوير مشروعات الأعمال الصغرى؛ فتسهم هذه الأساليب التعليمية لتزويد المشاركين بحزمة من المهارات المتعلقة بالريادة وتحفيزهم لمزيد من التعلم والإبداع والثقة في الذات.

وبذلك فأن التعليم الريادي يهدف غلى تطوير الابتكار والمبادرة لدى الفرد، من خلال المشاركة في بناء المعرفة عن طريق اكتساب المعلومات وتوليدها ومعالجتها، ليصبح الفرد بارعًا في بيئته، ويقدم مقترحات عمل قيمة لنفسه ولمجتمعه، ويسعى للاستفادة من الفرص الجديدة.

ويمكن بيان الدور الأساسي الذي يمكن أن يؤديه رواد الأعمال في بناء اقتصادات الدول وتنمية قدراتها التنافسية العالمية. ففي أمريكا ذاتها تحقق مشاريع رواد الأعمال الصغيرة ما يزيد على  47%من إجمالي المبيعات الكلية ، ويزيد عددها على 22 مليون مشروع صغير، كما تقوم بتوظيف نحو  53%من القوى العاملة، وتسهم بما نسبته  50%من الناتج المحلي الإجمالي الأمريكي.

وتصل هذه المساهمة إلى 43% في كوريا الجنوبية و 56%في تايوان و 60%في الصين و 70% في هونج كونج في حين لا تتجاوز مساهمتها  28%في السعودية.

وتعد تلك المشاريع أساسا لتطور الدولة ونمو اقتصادها وتنافسية موقعها الدولي. وقد أوضحت الإحصاءات المنشورة في عام 2019م أن إجمالي الإنفاق على ريادة الأعمال في الولايات المتحدة تجاوز (1.7 مليار) دولار ثم قفز هذا الإنفاق ليصل إلى (2.3 مليار) دولار عام 2021.

إن الهدف الرئيس للتعليم الريادي في الجامعة، هو إعداد جيل من الرياديين والمبدعين في مجال الأعمال، يقدمون إبداعًا على شكل منتج أو خدمة، أو عملية أو مدخل جديد من الأعمال أو مشروع جديدًان أو اختراعًا او اكتشافًا، وقد حددت الأهداف التفصيلية والفرعية للتعليم الريادي في الجامعات على النحو الاتي:

1. زيادة وعي الطلبة حول التوظيف الذاتي.
2. بناء اتجاهات إيجابية للطلبة نحو الريادة، وتعزيز الروح والنزعة الريادية وإثارة الدافعية لدى الطلبة لبناء تصور أفضل لمهنة المستقبل.
3. تطوير السمات والمهارات الشخصية للطلبة، تساعدهم لبناء قاعدة للتفكير والسلوك الريادي.
4. تعزيز التنمية الاجتماعية والاقتصادية في المجتمع، من خلال عمليات التحديث والتجديد التي يحدثها الرياديون في جميع المجالات التي سيعملون بها في المستقبل.
5. تعزيز مهارات بناء العلاقات والاتصال الإيجابي في بيئة تربوية لمهنة المستقبل.

Abstract

Women role in achieving sustainable development becomes as a one of most important issues in societies in general and in Iraq as a special case. She has a great role as her partner (man) has especially in achieving economic development; instead of this fact but the path is still not clear and long to say that! Due to the global numbers that shared internationally without serious scientific logic treatment; where statistical numbers refer that Iraq still in level (154 out of 156) around the world; and for economic & educational sectors in specific, unfortunately Iraqi women register around (0.228/1) and (0.8/1) respectively as Global Economic Institute announced in 2021. 

In order to understand this fact, there is a benefit to review the real role of Iraqi women in establishing societies’ infrastructure and trying to decrease the gap especially in her role in education, health-care, in addition to employ and invest her innovative ideas into pioneer projects.

Abstract

يؤدي الذكاء الاصطناعي دورا هاما وأساسيا في مختلف مناحي الحياة سيما في السنوات الأخيرة، فلم تعد الاستفادة من الذكاء الاصطناعي مقتصرة على البرمجيات فقط، بل امتدت الى مجالات الطب، والهندسة، والزراعة، وغيرها، وفي الآونة الأخيرة، اتجهت الدول نحو دمج الذكاء الاصطناعي وتوجيهه لتحقيق أهداف التنمية المستدامة ، بالشكل الذي يتوافق مع مستوى التنمية الاقتصادية والاجتماعية والبيئية المستدامة.

ولم تكن الدول العربية بمنأى عن هذه المساعي الدولية للاستفادة من الذكاء الاصطناعي ولاسيما في تحقيق التنمية المستدامة ، في ظل صعوبة الأوضاع الاقتصادية والسياسية والاجتماعية التي تواجهها،  ويزيد من صعوبة تأثيرها كون معظم الدول العربية دولاً نامية ، مما يزيد من أهمية تمسكها بضرورة الاستفادة من تطبيقات الذكاء الاصطناعي من أجل تحقيق أهداف التنمية المستدامة ، وعلى رأسها القضاء على الفقر وتعزيز فرص المساواة بين الجنسين وتحسين مستويات التعليم والصحة.

ويعد تحقيق أهداف التنمية المستدامة من أهم أولويات الدول وخاصة في ظل التحديات المختلفة التي يواجهها العالم سواء تحديات اقتصادية أو سياسية أو بيئية. وفي ظل التطور التكنولوجي اللامحدود وظهور تقنيات الذكاء الاصطناعي كان لابد أن تتوجه الدول نحو الاستفادة من هذه التقنيات وتطويعها نحو تحقيق أهدافها وخاصة أهداف التنمية المستدامة.

وقد لعبت منظمة اليونسكو دورا فعالا في الاستفادة من الذكاء الاصطناعي في تحقيق أهداف التنمية المستدامة من خلال دورها في مساعدة الدول في ذلك وبما يتناسب مع كل دولة حيث تضع المعايير وتساعد في وضع السياسات وبناء قدرات الدولة.

وفي 2019 ظهرت وثيقة (إجماع بكين) والتي وافق فيها ممثلو الدول والمنظمات الدولية والمؤسسات الأكاديمية والمجتمع المدني والمجتمع الخاص على أهمية الذكاء الاصطناعي في التعليم والبحث العلمي، كما تؤكد الوثيقة على وجود العنصر الإنساني واهميته في نشر تقنيات الذكاء الاصطناعي في التعليم لتعزيز التنمية المستدامة وحماية حقوق الانسان من خلال التعاون بين الانسان والالة.

و يمكن تعريف الذكاء الاصطناعي بأنه علم فائق التطور مشتق من علوم الحاسبات يحاكي العقل البشري بأعلى مستويات ذكاؤه ويستخدم لأداء كل المهام البشرية وحل كافة المشاكل التي يواجهها الانسان بطرق تكنولوجية متطورة.

ومن الجدير بالذكر أن الهدف الرئيسي لأبحاث الذكاء الاصطناعي في هذه المرحلة هو  انتاج ابتكارات من شأنها محاكاة الذكاء البشري وأداء نفس مهامه كحل المشكلات واتخاذ القرارات، ولكن مع تطور العالم وتسارع وتيرة الاحتياجات والمشاكل الاقتصادية والبيئية أدرك العلماء أنهم بحاجة الى خوارزميات وتقنيات أكثر تقدما.

وقد أدت جائحة كورونا إلى الزامية توجه العالم نحو استخدام تطبيقات الذكاء الاصطناعي، بل وتحديثها بشكل يساعد على حل أزمة كورونا أو على أقل تقدير الحد من تهديداتها ونتائجها. ومن أبرز استخدامات تطبيقات الذكاء الاصطناعي خلال جائحة كورونا استخدامها في العملية التعليمية وكذلك العملية الطبية.

فضلاً عن  أن تطبيقات الذكاء الاصطناعي في عصرنا الحديث تستخدم في شتى المجالات العسكرية والبيئية والاقتصادية والتعليمية ومن بين هذه التطبيقات:

• السيارات ذاتية القيادة والطائرات بدون طيار.
• الانسان الآلي والذي يتواجد حاليا في المستشفيات والجامعات وبعض المطارات.
• برامج الذكاء الاصطناعي في تحليل البيانات الاقتصادية كالبورصة وتطوير أنظمة تداول الأسهم.
• الأجهزة الذكية القادرة على القيام بالعمليات الذهنية كفحص التصاميم الصناعية، ومراقبة العمليات واتخاذ القرارات.
• التطبيقات الذكية الخاصة بتحويل الأموال والتعامل مع البنوك.
• خدمات المنازل الذكية، والأسلحة ذاتية العمل، والهواتف، وأجهزة التلفاز، والاف التطبيقات الأخرى.

ومن الأهمية بمكان حشد الوسائل اللازمة لتنفيذ خطة التنمية المستدامة 2030من خلال تنشيط الشراكة العالمية من أجل تحقيق التنمية المستدامة، على أساس روح من التضامن العالمي المعزز، مع التركيز بوجه خاص على احتياجات الفئات الأشد فقرا والأكثر ضعفا، وبمشاركة من جميع البلدان وجميع أصحاب المصلحة وجميع الشعوب. إذ أن الذكاء الاصطناعي (AI) يمتلك إمكانيات هائلة لدعم وتحقيق التنمية المستدامة عبر تحسين الكفاءة، تقليل الفاقد، وتقديم حلول مبتكرة لمجموعة من التحديات البيئية، الاقتصادية، والاجتماعية.

Abstract

It is not superfluous to claim that Iraqi banks are not technologically advanced. The aim of this research is to identify the factors that affect the adoption of electronic banking services in the Iraqi banking industry. The researchers focused on discussing and examining three main factors: the technological factor, the systems factor (legal and economic), and the environment factor (internal and external). The researchers used the descriptive approach in presenting and discussing the theoretical framework of the research and previous studies. Then they used the analytical statistical approach in examining the influencing factors. The questionnaire method was used to collect primary data from the research sample, which represented 16 Iraqi banks. 101 questionnaires suitable for analysis were obtained. Compiling the answers and analysing them statistically. The results of the study indicated that the main obstacles facing the Iraqi banking industry in adopting electronic banking services are: security risks, lack of trust, lack of a legal and regulatory framework, lack of information and communications technology infrastructure, and lack of competition between local and foreign banks. The researchers proposed a series of measures that the banking industry and government could take to address the various challenges identified. These measures include: creating a clear set of legal frameworks on the use of technology in the banking industry, supporting the banking industry by investing in ICT infrastructure, and banks should focus on competing in technological innovation rather than the traditional rules of retail banking competition.

Renewable Energy and Its Role in Maintaining Climate Balance

The intensity of global climate challenges is increasing, prompting a focus on renewable energy production to achieve the necessary climate balance. Reports from global institutions and specialized organizations indicate that greenhouse gas emissions need to be reduced by nearly half by 2030 to avoid the worst effects of climate change and reach net-zero emissions by 2050.

Global reports highlight that a significant portion of greenhouse gases surrounding the Earth, which trap the Sun’s heat, is generated through energy production by burning fossil fuels to produce electricity and heat. Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas, are by far the largest contributors to global climate change, accounting for more than 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 90% of all carbon dioxide emissions.

The role of renewable energy sources (abundantly available around us through the sun, wind, water, waste, and geothermal energy) stands out due to their natural availability. These sources emit little to no greenhouse gases or pollutants, making them a critical component in combating climate change.

Abstract

تعتبر عملية الدفع الإلكتروني التي تًعرف online payment عملية مالية متكاملة من النظم والبرامج يتم تقديمها لتسهيل الإجراءات المالية عبر الإنترنت. إن الدفع عبر الإنترنت هو عبارة عن صرف إلكتروني للعملة لشراء السلع أو الخدمات. وتعمل هذه العملية وفقًا لقوانين تضمن سرية وخصوصية إجراءات البيع والشراء.

وقد تنامت بشكلٍ لافتٍ للانتباه ، عمليات "الدفع الإلكتروني" في العراق ، سواء في الأماكن الخاصَّة كالشركات والمتاجر والأسواق ، أو في الوزارات والمؤسسات الحكوميَّة التي باتت تعتمد هذا النظام، أنَّ عمليات "الدفع الإلكتروني" لها فوائد كبيرة وتسهمُ في مجالاتٍ متعددة منها مكافحة الفساد وهدر الأموال وتقليل الضائعات من المبالغ الضريبيَّة، فضلاً عن تسريع وتيرة الأعمال للأفراد بعيداً عن طوابير التعاملات الورقيَّة في الدفع النقدي .وأنَّ اعتماد "الدفع الإلكتروني" يعدُّ إحدى بوابات العراق للتحول نحو اقتصادٍ متطورٍ ومتنامٍ.

وفي ظل التحول الرقمي المتسارع، يُشكّل (الدفع الإلكتروني) ركيزة أساسيَّة لنهضة العراق الماليَّة، إذ يُتيح شمولًا ماليًا أوسع، ويمنح شرائح كبيرة من المجتمع فرصة الاندماج في النظام المصرفي، الأمر الذي يُقلل من الاقتصاد الموازي ويعزز الاستقرار النقدي".

كما أنَّ "اعتماد (الدفع الإلكتروني) يُسهم في مكافحة الفساد، إذ يجعل التلاعب بالأموال أكثر صعوبة بفضل الشفافيَّة التي يوفرها، ما يضمن توجيه الموارد نحو التنمية الفعليَّة بدلًا من الهدر، ومن جهة أخرى، يدفع عجلة التجارة الإلكترونيَّة إلى الأمام، فيفتح الأبواب أمام المشاريع الصغيرة والمتوسطة للنمو، ويُيسر عمليات البيع والشراء عبر الإنترنت، الأمر الذي يُحفز بيئة ريادة الأعمال والابتكار".

كما وتجدر الإشارة الى أنَّ "فوائد (الدفع الإلكتروني) لا تقتصر على قطاع الأعمال، بل تمتد إلى الحياة اليوميَّة، إذ يُسرّع وتيرة المعاملات الماليَّة، فلا مزيد من الطوابير الطويلة أو العمليات الورقيَّة المُرهقة، بل معاملات تُنجز بلحظاتٍ في المتاجر، وعبر التطبيقات الذكيَّة، وفي المؤسسات الحكوميَّة".

فضلا عن أنه يُسهم أيضاً في تحسين كفاءة تحصيل الإيرادات الحكوميَّة، ما يُقلل من التهرب الضريبي، ويُوفر سيولةً تدعم مشاريع البنية التحتيَّة والخدمات العامة".

وعلى صعيد الأمان، فإنَّ الاعتماد على (الدفع الإلكتروني) يُقلل من مخاطر حمل النقود الورقيَّة، ويُوفر أنظمة حماية متطورة ضد السرقة والتزوير، فضلاً عن دوره في الحد من غسل الأموال عبر مراقبة التدفقات الماليَّة.

أنَّ القطاع المصرفي يشهدُ تطورًا متزايدًا، يُساعد (الدفع الإلكتروني) على توسيع قاعدة العملاء وتعزيز الخدمات الماليَّة، كما يُمهد الطريق أمام تقنيات متقدمة مثل (الذكاء الاصطناعي) و(البلوك تشين) – وهي تقنيَّة لامركزيَّة وقاعدة بيانات مشفرة لتسجيل المعاملات بطريقة آمنة وشفافة - ما يُتيح تقديم خدمات ماليَّة أكثر ذكاءً وكفاءة.

وبالإضافة إلى ما سبق ذكره، فإنَّ (الدفع الإلكتروني) يدعم الاقتصاد الأخضر، إذ يُقلل من الاعتماد على الأوراق النقديَّة، ويحدّ من استهلاك الوقود عبر تقليل الحاجة إلى التنقل لإنجاز المعاملات، ما يُعزز التنمية المستدامة، كما يُسهل عمليات التحويلات الماليَّة، لا سيما في بلدٍ يعتمد على التحويلات الخارجيَّة، إذ يُوفر وسيلة سريعة وآمنة لإيصال الأموال إلى مستحقيها، الأمر الذي يدعمُ الأفراد وينشط الاقتصاد المحلي.

ورغم التحديات التي تعترضُ طريقه، من بنية تحتيَّة بحاجة إلى التطوير وثقة مجتمعيَّة قيد البناء، يظل (الدفع الإلكتروني) بوابة العراق نحو اقتصاد أكثر تطورًا، إذ تُصبح الأموال أكثر أمانًا، والمعاملات أكثر سرعة، والتنمية أكثر استدامة، في خطوة تُمهّد لمستقبلٍ ماليٍ رقمي واعد.

كما إنَّ التعامل بالدفع والتسلم الإلكتروني يعملُ على إدارة الكتل النقديَّة بأقل تكلفة وأعلى شفافيَّة، وبذلك تكون الأموال المتداولة في المصارف معروفة، ولا يكون هناك داعٍ للتحفظ عند منح الضمانات وإعطاء القروض، هذا في ما يتعلق بالجهاز المصرفي، أما في ما يتعلق بفائدة تطبيق (الدفع الإلكتروني) للحكومة فإنَّها ستحصل على إيراداتها بشكلٍ مباشرٍ الى خزينة الدولة، وهذا ما يسمى بـ (الحساب الخزيني الموحد) أي تدخل الأموال بشكلٍ مباشر للموازنة، وهذا ما يتمثل بشكل إيجابي ويقلل من التعثرات المتعلقة باستحصال ايرادات الضرائب وغيرها.

لذا فأنَّ أهميَّة (الدفع الإلكتروني) تكمنُ في أشياءٍ مهمة، بينها استكمال دورة الدخل التي تذهب الى المصارف وتكون التدفقات النقديَّة عالية بالنسبة للحكومة، وبالتالي ترفد الخزينة من دون تعثراتٍ بموارد ماليَّة، أما الشيء الآخر فإنَّ الجهاز المصرفي يكون بأرصدة معروفة ولا يكون متردداً في منح الافتراضات، وهو يكمل النشاط الاقتصادي على أكمل وجه.

وقد شهدت المؤسسات والدوائر كافة في العراق خطواتٍ متسارعة لتطبيق نظام الدفع الإلكتروني، وفي شهر آب من العام الماضي أعلن البنك المركزي العراقي، زيادة قياسيَّة في عمليات الدفع الإلكتروني من 800 مليارٍ إلى تريليوني دينار في عامٍ واحدٍ، مشيراً الى أنَّ المدفوعات الحكوميَّة وصلت الى 912 مليار دينار خلال تموز 2024.

وان إصدار عملة رقمية خاصة بالبنك المركزي، سيمثل قفزة نوعية بنظام المدفوعات الوطني ويعزز الشفافية. إذ إن "البنك المركزي يتجه لإصدار عملة رقمية كبديل تدريجي للعملة الورقية"، وأن هذا التوجه يمثل قفزة نوعية في نظام المدفوعات الوطني الرقمي". وأن تلك الخطوة ستحقق فوائد عديدة، منها تقليل التسرب النقدي، وخفض تكاليف الطباعة، والحد من تداول العملة الورقية خارج النظام المصرفي، فضلاً عن تقليل الحاجة إلى طباعة النقود بشكل متكرر، مما يخفض التكاليف المرتبطة بإنتاجها وتوزيعها، الى جانب تعزيز الشفافية والسيطرة على التدفقات المالية وإمكانية تتبع السيولة الرقمية واتجاهات الإنفاق، سواء كان استهلاكياً، أو ادخارياً، أو استثمارياً، علاوة على تحسين الرقابة على رأس المال والتحويلات الخارجية، ودعم جهود مكافحة غسل الأموال.

هذا وأن العملات الرقمية تسهم في تحقيق الشمول المالي، لا سيما للفئات الأقل اندماجاً في النظام المصرفي، ما يسهم في تعزيز الاندماج الاقتصادي والاجتماعي. كما أن الانتقال إلى العملة الرقمية يتطلب بنية تحتية تقنية قوية، تشمل شبكات إنترنت موثوقة ومتطورة، وأنظمة أمن سيبراني متقدمة لحماية البيانات والمعاملات، فضلاً عن تعزيز ثقافة القبول المجتمعي للعملات الرقمية، بدءًا من الجهات الحكومية، عبر استخدامها في عمليات الجباية والمعاملات الرسمية.

وبذلك فأن النقد الرقمي سيحافظ على وظائفه التقليدية كوحدة حساب ومدفوعات وادخار، مع إمكانية استخدامه عبر الإنترنت والهواتف الذكية، مما سيسهم في تطوير بيئة مالية أكثر استقراراً وكفاءة.

Abstract

يُعدّ التحول الرقمي أحد أبرز العوامل التي أعادت تشكيل ديناميات الأسواق المعاصرة، إذ أسهم في تعزيز مفاهيم الشفافية والعدالة في البيئة التنافسية. فالتحول الرقمي، بوصفه عملية متكاملة لتوظيف التقنيات الحديثة كالذكاء الاصطناعي، وتحليل البيانات الضخمة، والمنصات الإلكترونية، مكّن الجهات التنظيمية والمشاركين في السوق من الوصول الفوري إلى المعلومات، ومتابعة الأنشطة الاقتصادية بدقة عالية. وقد أدى ذلك إلى الحد من الممارسات الاحتكارية، وزيادة قدرة المستهلكين على المقارنة والاختيار الحر، مما يعزز من عدالة المنافسة بين الشركات. كما ساهمت التحولات الرقمية في خفض الحواجز أمام الدخول إلى الأسواق، إذ أتاحت للشركات الصغيرة والناشئة فرصاً متكافئة للتوسع والمنافسة عبر الوسائط الرقمية.

ومن جهة أخرى، أوجد التحول الرقمي بيئة رقابية أكثر فاعلية، تتيح للسلطات المختصة مراقبة الأسواق وتحليل الأنماط السلوكية غير التنافسية باستخدام أدوات التحليل الذكي. ومع ذلك، يبقى تحقيق المنافسة العادلة في ظل الاقتصاد الرقمي مرهوناً بقدرة الدول على تطوير تشريعات رقمية متقدمة تضمن حماية البيانات، وتمنع هيمنة المنصات الكبرى، وتسد الفجوة الرقمية بين الفاعلين الاقتصاديين.

وعليه، يمكن القول إن التحول الرقمي يمثل ركيزة أساسية لتحقيق المنافسة العادلة، بشرط أن يُدار ضمن إطار مؤسسي وتنظيمي متوازن يحقق العدالة والابتكار في آنٍ واحد. وهو عملية توظيف التقنيات الرقمية (مثل الذكاء الاصطناعي، والبيانات الضخمة، والمنصات الإلكترونية) لإعادة تشكيل العمليات الاقتصادية والإدارية والخدمية.

واما المنافسة العادلة فهي البيئة التي تتاح فيها الفرص لجميع الفاعلين الاقتصاديين على نحو متكافئ، دون احتكار أو تمييز أو ممارسات غير نزيهة.

Abstract

It is impossible to overstate how important employees are to a small business' survival and how well they are managed. This is especially true because, smaller businesses depend more on the individual contributions of the employees to the overall success of the business. Small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) are significantly more prevalent than large corporations worldwide and employ a greater proportion of the labor force. In many economic sectors, SMEs are credited with fostering competition and innovation. While SMEs in Nigeria produce more jobs than large companies do, they also face difficulties that call for the assistance of experts from a variety of fields, including human resources managers. Therefore, this study uses a basic literature review and desk research approach to investigate the potential role of human resource management in SMEs in Nigeria. The main issues with SMEs' prior to the COVID-19 pandemic are identified as being insufficient skills and training, as well as depression and high labor turnover during the pandemic in Nigeria. In order to increase their effectiveness and efficiency in Nigeria, efforts are made to encourage SMEs to implement human resource management philosophies. As a result of the fact that no organization, no matter how big or small, can function without people, the study comes to the conclusion that human resource management is crucial. The study therefore recommends, among other things, that in order for Nigeria to experience sustainable post-COVID-19 business growth, SMEs must immediately implement human resource management strategies.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to present the reality of financial inclusion in Iraq, by analyzing the behavior and trends of its financial indicators according to its dimensions (access and usage) for the period (2014 to 2024). This research aims to determine the level of financial inclusion in Iraq and its most important pillars. Based on the basic premise that financial inclusion in Iraq can be measured and analyzed, and the development of its indicators can be monitored. Financial inclusion in Iraq can be expressed using four sets of indicators: banking density and banking penetration, and the spread of electronic payment services to express access. Mobile payment services, and electronic card and bank account penetration indicators, were used to express usage. Two factors were identified as constraints on achieving financial inclusion requirements in Iraq: the financial infrastructure and technology, and the lack of widespread financial awareness among individuals and the skill required to select financial products. This has led to a lack of digital transaction culture among Iraqis, as well as a lack of confidence in financial transactions in this context, due to the prevalence of hacking, fraud, and deception. It is impossible to advance financial inclusion levels in Iraq without addressing these two important and interconnected constraints.

Abstract

Theoretical Framework:

This study addressed the phenomenon of quiet quitting as a behavior manifested in employees performing only the minimum required work without showing additional commitment or initiative. This phenomenon is linked to causes such as burnout, lack of appreciation, and the absence of career advancement opportunities, making it a direct threat to employee engagement and organizational performance stability. The study aimed to explore the relationship between the dimensions of digital leadership and the dimensions of quiet quitting among the employees of Al-Maram Advertising Company.

Objective:

The study aimed to test the hypotheses regarding the relationship and impact between the dimensions of digital leadership — namely (digital leaders' competence, digital leaders' capability, organizational structure, and organizational strategy) — and the dimensions of quiet quitting — represented by (work overload, unfair compensation, poor work environment, and lack of career advancement opportunities). It also sought to analyze how digital leadership contributes to reducing levels of quiet quitting.

Methodology:

The study employed a quantitative analysis based on questionnaires distributed to employees of Al-Maram Advertising Company, with data collected from 48 employees in addition to interviews with senior and middle management. A structural model was designed to illustrate the direct effects of each digital leadership dimension on quiet quitting.

Findings:

The study revealed a statistically significant inverse relationship between all dimensions of digital leadership (competence, capability, structure, and strategy) and manifestations of quiet quitting among Al-Maram employees. Collectively, digital leadership accounted for 92% of the variance in quiet quitting (R² = 0.922), with digital leaders' competence having the strongest effect (β = -0.755). While the contributions of the other dimensions were smaller, they remained statistically significant. The results confirm that enhancing digital leadership practices effectively reduces the likelihood of employees’ psychological withdrawal.

Recommendations:

The study recommended that Al-Maram Advertising Company focus on improving digital leaders’ competence through specialized training programs in digital leadership, and activates clear strategies for leveraging technology in communication and motivation. It also advised restructuring the work environment to align with digital transformation requirements. Moreover, the study recommended developing clear promotion and recognition policies to ensure employee motivation and reduce the likelihood of quiet quitting, thereby enhancing employee engagement and sustaining the company’s high performance.

Abstract

Introduction to professional ethics and organizational work values:

In recent years, we have seen the emergence of some concepts of social responsibility. These concepts are considered contemporary concepts, so there must be a reinforcement of these social concepts. We find that some institutions emphasize their developmental role and sense of social responsibility within the communities in which they are located. This social participation is not only important in the sense of responsibility, but has become a necessity to win the sympathy, respect, and appreciation of communities.

We find that the concept of work ethics is one of the most important social principles that stem from the full belief in the values of work, as each individual is responsible for the work he does. Of course, the concept of work ethics is closely linked to the people who perform their work in a skillful way. This does not stop at an authority or institution, whether in the public or private sector. Therefore, institutions have focused their attention specifically on work ethics and values. They seek to develop good morals such as honesty, integrity, commitment, striving for excellence, loyalty, righteousness, respect for others, and appreciating time and good use of it. They also seek to fight against everything that is not appropriate for virtuous ethics while adhering to high values for their multiple benefits for individuals, societies, and high-quality relationships.

Let's focus more on another aspect of ethical values and how they become more complex when there are situations where values conflict with other things in our lives. We know that ethics is a set of rules that define the proper behavior and also define the improper behavior. These ethical rules tell us when our behavior is acceptable and when it is rejected. We note that ethical rules exist in all societies and organizations, despite the differences that exist between one individual and another, but they are considered ethical rules that govern the behavior of humans to determine for them when their actions are right or wrong.

As for business ethics, it does not differ much from the rules of ethics that govern the behavior of individuals in our societies, and it applies the general ethical rules that govern the behavior of business organizations.

In light of this, we note the legal aspect of ethical behavior, that is, the behavior considered ethical is also legal and preferred by society and encouraged. However, there are sometimes unethical behaviors that are difficult to consider illegal. For example, when a worker takes more time than necessary to perform a particular task, is this ethical behavior? Also, when one of the workers uses the work phone for personal calls, thus the institution bears the loss of the worker's time, and bears the costs of the calls made by the worker, or he claims to be sick and does not go to work... And such behavior is not punishable by law, but many people consider some or all of them unethical.

Work is of great importance to man, as it is his source of income and livelihood. Therefore, man seeks to preserve it by adhering to work ethics and values. Let us get to know through the following lines the concept of work ethics and the importance of adherence and commitment to work ethics. It has great importance for the individual and the institution in which he works, such as enhancing the interaction between workers in a large way, which raises the efficiency of performance, improving the image and reputation of the institution, and protecting employees from fear about their future in it and depriving them of incentives and promotions on time. In addition to increasing production and profits, this is a result of each employee's commitment to perform his duties towards his work, as one of the most important work ethics is honesty, and proper time management and not exploiting work time to serve personal interests, and disrupt the interests of work and customers as some people do, and working to succeed in forming good relationships with customers, which guarantees their continuous dealings with the institution.

We can follow a set of methods and methods in order to consolidate and consolidate the ethics and values of work, such as the individual's evaluation of his performance himself, and punishing himself for the mistake he commits without being monitored by anyone. This is because he fears God Almighty, and therefore he strives to perfect his work. Administratively, this is known as the application of self-control methods. Not discriminating between workers, everyone must be subject to punishment when they are wrong, regardless of whether they are a manager, worker, or employee. They are all equal, so that the owners of senior positions in the institution do not believe that they are above punishment, which prompts them to not comply with labor regulations. Among the methods and ways to consolidate the ethics and values of work are:

• Encouraging employees to develop their performance, and this is done by linking good performance with rewards and incentives. The employee always needs someone to encourage him to give his best for the benefit of work.
• Raising awareness among the ranks of workers of the importance of work and that it is their source of income, and the need to preserve it and master it well, which leads to increasing the profits of the institution and raising their standard of living.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze and evaluate the liquidity and banking performance indicators of the Bank of Baghdad for the period (2018–2023). Liquidity in Iraqi commercial banks is a crucial economic issue that impacts the financial and banking performance of the country, especially due to economic and political fluctuations that may hinder banks from providing sufficient funding for investment projects. This, in turn, negatively affects growth and production, leading to a decline in the financial performance of commercial banks. The research is based on the hypothesis that liquidity has a significant impact on banking performance. It adopts the deductive approach by combining both descriptive-analytical and quantitative methods. The study includes two variables: one independent and one dependent. The independent variable is the banking liquidity shock, while the dependent variables are banking performance, represented by the return on investment (ROI) and earnings per share (EPS). The researcher concluded that the Bank of Baghdad experienced very high liquidity ratios during the study period, indicating its ability to meet obligations and fulfill customer demands. This suggests that the bank enjoys strong financial performance and a solid credit position. However, profitability rates declined due to the bank’s efforts to balance liquidity and profitability.

Abstract

As a result of the great developments witnessed by the business environment in recent years, this has led to the necessity of shifting all transactions in accounting systems from the manual system to the electronic system, as these systems are characterized by providing accurate results in a short time compared to the manual system. Therefore, this research aims to demonstrate the effect of applying Information technology governance mechanisms according to the COBIT framework in enhancing investors’ confidence in the financial statements, and testing whether these mechanisms (planning and organization, support and delivery, ownership and implementation, follow-up and evaluation) have a role in enhancing investors’ confidence in the financial statements. The research dealt with private banks operating in the Iraqi environment as a community to conduct the practical test, while the sample included individuals working in these banks. To obtain data, the researchers prepared a questionnaire form, where (125) questionnaires were distributed, from which (118) were recovered, of which (110) were valid for analysis. While (8) were excluded because they were not valid, the researchers adopted the statistical program (SPSS) to reach the results. The research reached several conclusions, the most important of which is that information technology governance according to the (COBIT) framework contributes fundamentally to the preparation of financial reports that are characterized by reliability and appropriateness because one of the governance standards is Highlighting the accuracy and objectivity of financial reports, in addition to adherence to rules and legislation, and this is reflected positively in enhancing investors’ confidence in the financial statements provided by the banks in the research sample. One of the most important recommendations presented by the research is the necessity of bank management adopting the COBIT framework as a means of information technology governance and control, as well as the necessity of qualifying human resources in banks to use modern and advanced information systems in order to achieve the maximum benefits desired from this technology in obtaining appropriate outputs that reflect positively. On the quality of financial reports provided by the banks in the research sample.

Abstract

In today's highly competitive business environment, information is the most important resource for all organizations, whether in the public or private sector. In most cases, this information is found in paper documents. Information capture systems (scanning, indexing) represent the first step in information management, allowing documents to be converted from a physical to an electronic format, as well as extracting the required information from them through digital archiving.

We also record our personal experiences and life events digitally on computers, phones, and other electronic devices, in the form of documents, emails, images, social media, and audio/video files. So, here digitization and digital archiving are very important?

Digitization and digital archiving, as an information security system, helps you to better manage personal information and records in digital repositories in an effective and secure way. It is about how you manage information and how you can make the most of it in an effective way that benefits you and your organization.

Digital archiving of documents is one of the main drivers of economic transformation, as information analysis allows you to benefit from making better decisions, which is essential for any organization regardless of its size, type, or complexity.

The development of technology and electronic communication systems in our lives has made it necessary to adopt them as a solution to the old problems that organizations face in their work. The difficulty of storing paper and keeping it safe from damage, despite the urgent need to return to it at times, led to the invention of a way to invest this technology in storing documents and information electronically. This resulted in the emergence of what is called digital archiving. Digital archiving is a necessity for website owners and businesses, as it is safe and secure in storing and retrieving all the required electronic data and files over the long term.

The process of digital archiving works to index electronic documents and files, and keep them until they are needed. It organizes this data and provides a copy of the original for use in research, auditing, and legal purposes.

The importance of digital archiving can be summarized in the following points:

• Quick access to the required information compared to the traditional archive method.
• No need to return to the paper archive and search through piles of papers.
• The ability to keep a huge amount of information that paper archiving cannot sometimes store.
• Reducing the number of employees (hidden unemployment) and tools, thus reducing the financial cost of companies.
• Facilitating the process of information exchange and sharing with others.
• Dispensing with unnecessary data.
• Developing the efficiency and quality of work using modern technologies.
• No need for large spaces in offices and institutions, and utilizing this space for more useful work.
• Conserving the environment by reducing waste and saving paper.

Digital archiving can also store a large number of data and information that is difficult to store in the traditional archive as it is an effective and scalable method.

Digital archiving plays an important role in meeting regulatory requirements through the use of technologies. The data stored is not subject to change or modification. Through digital archiving, you can find the required information regardless of its size.

In addition to providing security means for information by identifying the people who can access it with the ability for more than one user to enter at the same time. Digital archiving also features ease of use remotely, the ability to meet the needs of the organization, and at the same time reduces the risks that the organization may face during work. In addition to its ability to restore damaged data, the ability to export data and save incoming faxes and types of emails, and the ease of handling different types of files.

Therefore, the emergence of modern information technologies has necessitated a re-examination of the traditional concepts related to the archive and the processing of its contents of documents and dealing with them. The digital archive has emerged in all its technological dimensions, and it has taken on great importance due to its close association with the contemporary digital environment, going beyond the idea of digitization and electronic archiving of the traditional paper archive, to electronic practice in a purely digital environment. There are institutions that produce, store, and retrieve their archives in a purely electronic way in unprecedented conditions traditionally.

Abstract

This study looks at how job demands Depletion employee self-efficacy in Iraqi private companies. It also checks if things like a strong org culture, supportive bosses, and personal traits, such as being conscientious and emotionally stable, can buffer that effect. Now, even though Arab org behavior research is getting popular, Iraq hasn't gotten much attention yet. So, that's the key void this study aims to fill. They used a cross-sectional design and got data from 250 workers in three Baghdad firms through a 90-item Arabic questionnaire. To analyze it, they employed Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via SmartPLS 4.0, based on the Conservation of Resources Theory, Social Cognitive Theory, and the Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) model. Plus, the participants gave informed consent and their data was kept anonymous following proper ethical guidelines. Role demands really take a hit on self-efficacy depletion, with a β value of 0.621, a p-value less than .001, and an R² of 0.613. Interestingly, organizational culture intensity and supervisor support helped soften this impact. Specifically, the internal cohesion part of the organizational culture and the informational support from supervisors were the biggest helpers here. This study stands out because it’s one of the first to look at self-efficacy depletion, not just general burnout, in response to role demands within the Iraqi context. The research blends three different theories and checks both organizational and personal traits as factors. Plus, it focuses on something that affects employees in Iraq specifically, which is cool. There are some downsides though. It uses a cross-sectional design with data solely from Baghdad's private sector, making it hard to infer causation or apply the findings elsewhere in Iraq, including the public sector. Still, the practical takeaways are useful for HR managers. They now have info showing that beefing up supervisor training and promoting team unity can shield worker mental stamina during tough times.

Abstract

Sustainable supplier selection is an essential part of the decision-making process in sustainable supply chains. This choice is focusing on social, economic, and environmental criteria in evaluation of suppliers. Sustainable supplier selection approaches have used both qualitative and quantitative data. Therefore, it is meaningful to use scientific methods that treatment both quantitative and qualitative data, as well as multiple criteria. 

Analytical network process (ANP) is a one of the important multi-criteria decisions –making approaches.  Also, the ANP technique is a general form that allows possible independency among criteria factors. This paper aims to select the best suppliers using an (ANP) approach which helps decision-makers to reach the best strategy with correct decisions. Using ANP each criterion has its assign weight, which reflects its importance for the process of comparison between alternatives to suppliers. The presented approach consists of the three main steps:  the first step is to identify the criteria used in the comparison process between suppliers, the second step is to identify the decision matrix using AHP and the third step is to construct the super matrix and limiting super matrix and compare between the alternatives, and rank them from the best to the worst through using ANP. This work has used the data as in [30] which represents data for a company that has four suppliers and five criteria. The results show that the best supplier is supplier 2, which has weight equal to 39%. Also, our results are matching the AHP result that is presented in [30]. Moreover, this work can be extended for future work using fuzzy environment and real application such as Iraqi oil companies.

Abstract

Given the growing public debt burden and the volatility of global oil prices — the primary source of budget revenues — this study examines the economic impact of public debt on sustainable development in Iraq from 1990 to 2022. Using modern econometric models and quarterly time series data, the research analyzes the relationship between domestic and external public debt, economic growth, and sustainable development.

The study aims to identify the short- and long-term effects of public debt on growth and sustainability and clarify how oil price volatility affects this relationship. The results indicate that domestic debt has a less negative impact than external debt. While external debt supports expenditures in the short term, it increases long-term risks due to repayment obligations. The results also indicate weak links between high debt and sustainable development outcomes, reflecting the inefficient use of borrowed resources. Heavy reliance on oil revenues exacerbates the economy's vulnerability to external shocks. The study concluded with a set of recommendations: adopt wise debt management strategies; direct borrowing toward productive and developmental sectors; enhance transparency and institutional efficiency; diversify the economy to reduce dependence on oil; and cooperate with international financial institutions to design debt sustainability policies consistent with the Sustainable Development Goals.

Abstract

Universities worldwide have recognized the challenges of digital transformation in the face of rapid technological advancements, which have become an integral part of the educational system for all academic programs. This integration brings numerous advantages to all stakeholders in the educational process. Traditional methods, techniques, and tools have become outdated, prompting universities to enter into agreements with specialized global companies in technology, software, and tools. These agreements aim to equip their infrastructure for the educational process across various academic programs and disciplines, building knowledge and skills for students and preparing them for the job market in the era of digital transformation affecting all sectors.

Digital transformation is no longer an option but a necessity for institutions striving to enhance their efficiency and ensure their sustainability. The rapid growth of digital technology, advancements in smart devices and systems, increased data processing capabilities, and artificial intelligence have led to revolutionary changes. Dealing with the digital society requires investment in human resources and competencies possessing digital skills, capabilities, passion, ambition, and dialogue. This entails adopting a comprehensive approach to teaching methods, focusing on future requirements.

As mentioned earlier, digital transformation has become an urgent necessity that educational institutions seek to establish and dedicate. Educational technologies and digital platforms are not just concepts; they are now essential practices for the educational and learning processes. Universities need to leverage digital technologies to improve educational processes and practices, enhance learner and teacher experiences, and support the creation of effective and enduring educational models. Digital transformation helps universities operate more efficiently, remain competitive in global rankings and accreditations, and succeed in preparing learners for digital work environments.

In this context, digitization is a necessity in higher education institutions, attracting top students and improving the experience of courses, educational materials, and training processes in general. It enables monitoring and tracking to identify obstacles and challenges in training and reduce the risk of dropout. However, hesitation in understanding and seizing opportunities to move towards this digital environment still exists. It is essential for digital transformation to align with communication principles, ensuring its commitment to meet the expectations of various groups interested in economic, social, and environmental dimensions.

Abstract

Introduction:

The world is facing a number of challenges, including climate change. Climate change is caused by human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, which release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat, causing the planet to warm.

The Arab World and Climate Change:

The Arab world is one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change. The region is already experiencing the effects of climate change, such as rising sea levels, more extreme weather events, and changes in agricultural yields.

The Impacts of Climate Change:

The impacts of climate change are already being felt around the world. They include:

• Rising sea levels: Sea levels are rising due to the melting of glaciers and ice sheets. This is causing coastal flooding and erosion, and is displacing people and communities.
• More extreme weather events: Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts. These events are causing damage to property and infrastructure, and are leading to loss of life.
• Changes in agricultural yields: Climate change is affecting agricultural yields, making it more difficult to produce food. This is leading to food insecurity and malnutrition.
• Loss of biodiversity: Climate change is causing the loss of biodiversity, as plants and animals are unable to adapt to changing conditions.

Solutions to Climate Change:

There are a number of things that can be done to address climate change. These include:

• Reducing greenhouse gas emissions: This can be done by switching to renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and reducing deforestation.
• Adapting to the impacts of climate change: This can be done by building infrastructure that is more resilient to extreme weather events, and by developing new agricultural practices that are more resistant to climate change.

Abstract

Problem of the Research- lately the economic environment is completely differing than 20^th century and even than the last decades of 21^st century. Novel idioms, notable expectations have been innovated that related to economic, social, political and even behavioral aspects of life; the competency does not limit with qualified intellectual human resources rather than the use of knowledge and novel aspects of technologies due to the rapid dynamic development of virtual economy. Thus, global economies experienced a rebirth of economic system. 

Design, Methodology, Approach- it is an inductive study “UAE” as a sample; in which it extrapolates and analyze the studies and essays that related to economic digitization. Descriptive and analytical tools used to study the related aspects of phenomena. 

Finding- UAE in general and Dubai in specific has a great role in achieving many entrepreneurial projects as a part of intelligent governmental program. Digitization programs become an obvious feature in most governmental programs such as medical, smart educational and banking usages; meanwhile, these programs are available for all in a lowest price of cost. Dubai tries to follow its vision for (2020-2030) of achieving sustainability through rapid change in technology towards green-zone technology environment under the supervision of rational policy of decisions, then expands it experiences to UAE as a whole. 

Research limitations- implications- the study covers only studies and essays that related to scan UAE “Dubai” entrepreneurial projects for the last decade of 20^th century and early decades of 21^st century. 

Practical implications- the study confines to use the descriptive, analytical tools to study the related phenomena. 

Social implications- it specifics to review the Dubai Emirate as a society of study. 

Objectives of the Research

• Transferring the societies into digital ones to expand the career opportunities especially among adult talents.
• Distinguishing the economic digitalization & digital economy.
• Analyzing the main threats toward digital economy.
• Focusing on the role of digital economy especially for those graduated talents.

Importance of the Research- as far as the study reviews, few studies in Arabian libraries are handling this dynamic topic; and still the meaning of facilitating the digitization to achieve sustainability is not clear enough, meanwhile, UAE considered as a “Spark” to most of Arabian countries. Thus, having their successful experience of entrepreneurial projects would be a “guide” for followers.

Abstract

In light of the rapid developments and intense competition the world is witnessing, the need to find a sustainable competitive advantage for economic units has become apparent. This research aims to demonstrate the impact of employing the green value chain approach on achieving this competitive advantage by analyzing green value chain activities. This approach represents a modern trend in sustainable management accounting. The research identifies the green value chain and competitive advantage, clarifying the relationship between them through an inductive methodology that draws on books, theses, dissertations, and specialized research in accounting studies. This approach contributes to cost reduction across all activities within the green value chain, while also considering environmental factors. The research focuses on the role of this approach in achieving a long-term competitive advantage. Researchers relied on actual data in the practical application of the implemented activities. Among the key conclusions are: the green value chain approach contributes to building a long-term competitive advantage by enhancing the sustainability of activities (production, marketing, distribution, and after-sales services) and achieving customer satisfaction by responding to their environmental and social requirements. The resulting competitive advantage is manifested in the economic unit's ability to offer a low-cost, high-quality, and environmentally friendly product while maintaining a stable and profitable customer base.

To achieve the study objectives, the descriptive analytical approach was adopted. A questionnaire consisting of (31) paragraphs was developed, and a random sample was drawn so that the study sample consisted of (146) workers in a selected ministry from Baghdad (Ministry of Higher Education, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Planning). The descriptive analytical approach was relied upon, and the results were analyzed using the (SPSS) program and descriptive statistics tools. It was concluded that most of the sample members agreed that workers in the ministries surveyed have low drug use and that the job performance of workers in the ministries is good due to the low drug use by workers and that drug-addicted workers cause a decrease in job performance and that this decrease is reflected in the form of frequent absence, misconduct, and low productivity. The most prominent recommendations were the need to conduct awareness courses and implement programs to eliminate addiction in the workplace.

Abstract

The industrial policy in Iraq after 2003 contributed to the decline in the sustainability component of economic growth And the lack of economic growth in Iraq to the element of sustainability after 2003, as a result of the continued dependence on crude oil, and the decline in the relative importance of the manufacturing sector in the economic structure, and the trends of economic policies and industrial policy contributed to the exacerbation of this result. The strategies and directions that were put forward after 2003 are based on betting on the private sector and market mechanisms to advance this sector in return for excluding the state and limiting its activity to a purely regulatory framework through the adoption of a horizontal industrial policy. This paper calls for the adoption of a rational, realistic approach to address the problems of the industrial sector, based on combining the role of the market and the role of industrial policy.

Abstract

The research aims to analyze the impact of awareness of organizational dynamics on enhancing strategic positioning, based on the importance of employees’ understanding of the internal and external factors that shape the organizational work environment—such as culture, structure, relationships, and communication—and their reflection on the organization’s ability to define its competitive position effectively and sustainably. The study adopted the descriptive-analytical approach and employed a questionnaire to collect data from Al-Ittihad Food Industries Co. Ltd. in Babil Governorate, with a sample of 262 employees from the company’s sugar refinery plant. The research gap lies in the scarcity of studies that have examined the relationship between awareness of organizational dynamics and strategic positioning in an integrated manner within the Iraqi business environment—particularly in the food industry sector, which faces ongoing market transformations and increasing competition. This context requires a deep organizational awareness that connects culture, structure, leadership, and communication as an interactive dynamic system. The findings indicate a positive and statistically significant correlation and effect between awareness of organizational dynamics and strategic positioning. Higher levels of organizational awareness contribute to improving management’s ability to make effective strategic decisions and strengthen the company’s competitive position in the market. The results also show that flexible organizational culture and adaptive leadership play a key role in achieving higher levels of strategic performance. The research recommends adopting a comprehensive approach to managing organizational dynamics that integrates culture, structure, leadership, and internal communication within a unified strategic vision, thereby enhancing sustainable strategic positioning and contributing to the stability and growth of Iraqi industrial companies.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the factors influencing the success of the transition to electronic payment systems in Iraqi banks and to analyze the relationship between the adoption of electronic payment systems and the extent to which the adoption of these systems affects the reduction of operating costs without affecting the quality of services provided by them. The importance of this study stems from the accelerated shift towards digitization in the financial field and supporting national trends towards the transition to a non-cash economy. The study adopted the null hypothesis that there is no statistically significant effect of adopting electronic payment systems in reducing operating costs in Iraqi banks. The study adopted the descriptive analytical approach to explain the problem and the relationships between its elements by collecting financial data for a sample of Iraqi banks for the period (2020-2024) and deriving financial ratios that represent the study variables. The study reached several results, the most important of which is the lack of an effect of adopting electronic payment systems in reducing operating costs in Iraqi banks, despite the good level of application of electronic payment systems by these banks, with a positive correlation between the level of adoption of electronic payment systems. The level of operational costs, and the study presented several recommendations, including updating cost systems to be consistent with the nature of the digital transformation in the use of payment systems, enhancing awareness campaigns and customer confidence to expand the base of use of electronic payment methods, and updating electronic payment systems periodically to avoid technical failures and maintain cyber security.
