Abstract
China has realized the great importance and the great role of innovation in achieving distinguished industrial performance, so it began to support and encourage it in order to achieve this, and this is what this research tries to measure and prove through a standard study based on annual data for the period (1985-2020), and depending on the statistical program (Eviews 10).
The research recommended some proposals, the most important of which are: China advancing the most important indicators of innovation by increasing spending on research and development and achieving the quality of domestic education for China and not on education abroad. Conformity and integration must be achieved between the most important indicators of innovation, especially with regard to human development (quality education) and patents.
The model variables were (industrial performance log y) is the dependent variable. And (log x1 patents), (log x2 research and development spending), (log x3 education quality) and (log x4 technology progress), are the independent variables.
The results indicated that the complete logarithmic model is the best among other models, and to achieve this goal the research relied on the assumption that innovation achieves distinguished industrial performance in both industrialized and emerging countries, including China. The support and encouragement of innovation indicators had a moral effect in achieving industrial performance in China and achieving economic and social well-being, but this depends on the country's economic situation, strategies and laws adopted and the amount of gross domestic product allocated to support those indicators.
Through the results of joint integration, the research concluded that there is a long-term equilibrium relationship and a short-term response between the research variables, and that there is a significant effect of some indicators and an insignificant effect of other indicators, in addition to the absence of the problem of self-correlation and the problem of heterogeneity of disparity.
The research recommended some proposals, the most important of which is the need for China to raise the most important indicators of innovation by increasing spending on research and development and achieving the quality of local education for China rather than relying on education abroad. It is imperative to achieve harmony and integration between the most important indicators of innovation, especially with regard to human development (quality Education and patents) and among technological advances

Abstract
In recent years, institutions have faced increasing challenges, including resource scarcity, shifting customer expectations regarding service quality, and growing commitments to economic, social, and environmental sustainability. Amid these challenges, international reports, including the 2024 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) report, highlight the limited progress towards achieving the SDGs in Iraq. The report indicates that nearly half of the goals are showing only slight or moderate progress, while more than a third are moving in the opposite direction. This reality underscores the need for continuous improvement in institutional processes, a goal to which Total Quality Management (TQM) contributes by enhancing performance efficiency, optimizing resource utilization, and developing skills. This issue is particularly relevant in Iraq, as the World Bank's SDGs report indicates a performance gap of 34.1%, making an analysis of TQM's role essential to understanding its contribution to bridging this gap. This research aims to analyze the impact of Total Quality Management (TQM) on achieving sustainable development within the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity. This is achieved by measuring the level of TQM implementation and its reflection on performance indicators. The study relied on a sample of 100 department and division managers. A total of 130 questionnaires were distributed, 110 were returned, and 100 valid questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS software. The results showed a clear understanding among the sample of the importance of TQM practices in promoting sustainable development. Furthermore, the results indicated a statistically significant impact of TQM on sustainable development. The study recommends strengthening the adoption of TQM principles within the Ministry of Electricity as a framework for improving processes and enhancing performance efficiency. This will contribute to bridging the performance gap and achieving tangible progress towards sustainable development.

Abstract
This study aims to analyze the role of artificial intelligence in achieving sustainable economic growth and addressing unemployment in Iraq. It examines the current state of artificial intelligence technology adoption, the level of institutional and human readiness, and the impact of these factors on economic growth and labor market indicators within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals. The significance of the study stems from the growing global reliance on artificial intelligence as a key driver of economic transformation, in contrast to the limited adoption of these technologies in the Iraqi economy, despite the structural challenges it faces, most notably unemployment and a lack of economic diversification. The study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach, drawing on official data from the Ministry of Planning and the Central Statistical Organization, World Bank data, and the Scopus database. It also examines indicators of expenditure on education, research and development, and health during the period 2010–2024, with the aim of analyzing the relationship between artificial intelligence adoption, economic growth, and unemployment in Iraq. The study concludes that the contribution of artificial intelligence to achieving sustainable economic growth in Iraq remains limited due to weak digital infrastructure, low levels of investment in research and development, and the absence of a comprehensive national digital transformation strategy, despite the relative increase in the number of published scientific studies and growing official interest in modern technologies. The findings also indicate that artificial intelligence applications have the potential to improve productivity and enhance the efficiency of economic and service sectors. Nevertheless, their impact on addressing unemployment remains limited because educational outcomes are misaligned with the requirements of the digital labor market and because high-quality, knowledge-based employment opportunities remain scarce
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.

Abstract
The issues of combating poverty and sustainable development are among the most prominent challenges facing both developing and developed societies. Despite the efforts made by governments and international organizations, poverty still directly affects many countries, calling for the adoption of effective investment policies that improve economic and social conditions. Investment in combating poverty includes financial resources allocated to programs and policies aimed at improving the living standards of individuals in poor communities. This includes investments by governments and international organizations in sectors such as education, health, clean water, social finance, and job opportunities. Investing in combating poverty and achieving sustainable development is a long-term process that requires strong commitment from governments, international institutions, and civil society organizations alike. Investment in this area represents a cornerstone for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, which are not limited to improving economic conditions but also extend to promoting social justice and reducing development gaps between different segments of society. The research addresses seizing investment opportunities in Babil Governorate for the period 2021-2024 across all governorate projects. Among the most important conclusions of the research is the need to increase investment in infrastructure and local labor, as well as investment in projects targeting the poorest segments of the governorate's population. The most important finding of the research is the significant impact of investment opportunities in combating poverty and improving the living conditions of the governorate's residents.

Abstract
With increasing environmental pressures and resource scarcity, the transition from the linear “take-make-dispose” model to a circular production system (CPS) has become a strategic necessity for companies. This research addresses the circular production system not only as an environmental initiative, but also as a catalyst for achieving sustainable competitive advantage. The research aims to contribute to bridging the gap between organizational behavior literature and sustainability strategy, highlighting how employee perceptions at the micro and macro levels of the company influence competitive advantage, guided by the research question “How do Bwer employees view the role of circular production systems in building sustainable competitive advantage?” This research examines the perceptions of Bwer employees regarding the relationship between adopting a circular production system and enhancing competitive advantage. A descriptive analytical approach was used, with a structured questionnaire distributed to a targeted sample of 75 employees from various departments, such as operations, marketing, and research and development, using SPSS v.26 software. The results show strong perceived links between circular production systems and improved brand image, resource efficiency, and long-term cost savings through waste reduction and material reuse. However, the challenges identified include high initial costs, the complexity of reverse logistics, and a lack of understanding between different functions, particularly with regard to product innovation outside the research and development department. One of the most important recommendations of the research is to highlight the need to improve communication, training, and incentives to align employee efforts with circular production goals and fully achieve CPS objectives as a driver of lasting competitive success.

This study aimed to analyze the impact of strategic drift on improving organizational performance through an analytical study of the opinions of a sample of employees at the Technical Institute / Kufa , within the context of seeking to bridge the knowledge gap related to explaining the nature of the relationship between these two variables in educational institutions. The study was based on the hypothesis that strategic drift, through its dimensions represented by satisfaction with leadership, marketing myopia, logical incrementalism, and organizational commitment, is one of the factors that directly influence the level of organizational performance, which was measured through its dimensions of accounting returns, growth, stock market performance, and operational performance. The study adopted the descriptive – analytical approach, and the questionnaire was used as the main tool for data collection, in addition to observation and personal interviews to enhance the accuracy of the results. The study population consisted of (355) employees, while the study sample included (185) questionnaires valid for statistical analysis. The data were analyzed using the (SPSS) program, relying on a set of descriptive and inferential statistical methods, particularly correlation and impact tests, after ensuring that the data met the conditions of normal distribution. The results of the statistical analysis showed the existence of a statistically significant and positive correlation and impact relationship between strategic drift and organizational performance. This confirms that the conscious management of manifestations of strategic drift can contribute to the early detection and treatment of organizational imbalances, improve the efficiency of resource utilization, and enhance the institution’s ability to adapt to environmental changes. The results also indicated that integration among the dimensions of strategic drift leads to achieving better levels of organizational performance, especially in operational aspects and institutional growth. The study concluded that strategic drift is not necessarily an entirely negative phenomenon; rather, it can be employed as an effective managerial tool if properly diagnosed and managed, thereby contributing to improving organizational performance and achieving institutional sustainability. In light of the results, the study recommended enhancing strategic awareness among administrative leaders and adopting flexible mechanisms to monitor and address strategic drift in a manner consistent with the requirements of modern work environments in educational institutions.

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
This study aims to identify the importance of intellectual capital and its impact on achieving organizational mindfulness. It represents a serious scientific endeavor to bridge or reduce the knowledge gap in understanding the nature of the relationship between these variables within educational organizations by surveying the opinions of the target sample at Al-Mustaqbal University. The study's theoretical framework is based on the premise that intellectual capital is one of the most important intangible resources possessed by contemporary universities and that effective investment in its dimensions contributes to enhancing an organization's ability to anticipate changes, adapt, and make sound decisions. Organizational mindfulness also represents an important strategic resource that enables organizations to confront environmental changes and rapidly evolving challenges with a high degree of efficiency and flexibility. Accordingly, the research problem was formulated around the following central question: What is the impact of intellectual capital on organizational mindfulness at Al-Mustaqbal University? This question was translated into a hypothetical model comprising two main variables. The first, the independent variable, is intellectual capital, with its three dimensions: human capital, structural capital, and relational capital. The second, the dependent variable, is organizational mindfulness, with its dimensions: sensitivity to operations, reluctance to simplify interpretations, resilience, and deference to expertise. The researchers sought to achieve the study's objectives by adopting the descriptive-analytical approach to data collection and analysis, drawing on multiple sources, most notably a questionnaire as the primary data collection instrument. The questionnaire was distributed to a random sample of 150 members of Al-Mustaqbal University, drawn from a population of 200 individuals. All questionnaires were deemed valid for statistical analysis. The data were processed using several statistical methods with the aid of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The study yielded several statistical findings, most notably a significant positive correlation and a positive effect between intellectual capital and organizational mindfulness. This indicates that developing the dimensions of intellectual capital contributes effectively to enhancing organizational mindfulness within the university, thereby supporting its ability to respond to changes and improve institutional performance.

Abstract
The research This research aims to demonstrate the importance of financial statements, the determinants of their effectiveness, and their relationship to administrative decisions. The General Authority for Taxes and the General Authority of Customs, both affiliated with the Iraqi Ministry of Finance, are obligated to implement tax laws. Furthermore, a Tax Policy Department was established within the Economic Department of the Iraqi Ministry of Finance in 2005. This department is responsible for drafting tax laws and developing tax strategy in Iraq. Consequently, decision-makers, assessors, and auditors within the General Authority for Taxes are required to possess professional qualifications and skills that enable them to examine financial data at a high level, particularly data prepared according to International Accounting Standards. They are also responsible for providing electronic software to facilitate administrative decisions aimed at achieving fairness in the distribution of the tax burden, saving time, and enhancing trust between taxpayers and the tax authority. This has made administrative assessment the foundation of the practical application of tax accounting. The research successfully addresses two key questions: First, do financial statements encourage or discourage administrative decision-making? The second question is whether the Iraqi legislator succeeded in achieving a balance between the interests of the state, society, and taxpayers through the tax system. The methodology used in this research was deductive, employing a descriptive approach to analyze financial reports (2021-2023) and an inductive approach using econometric analysis to refute the initial hypothesis: (There is no relationship between financial statements and administrative decisions). This was demonstrated by the results of the assessment memoranda, which showed that the relationship between financial statements and administrative decisions is interconnected, representing a part-whole relationship, as they constitute a significant financial resource and their proportion in the state's public revenues has increased.
Abstract
Through this research, the aim is to answer a number of questions that accompany the research problem of defining the concept of water security, as well as to show the extent of the effects of water security on sustainable agricultural development in Iraq for the period (2004-2022), as well as identifying water security challenges, as well as identifying alternatives to water security supplies to create sustainable agricultural development in Iraq, given the information available today.
In this research, the researcher relied on the extrapolation process mainly, which is based on observing the effects of water security on sustainable agricultural development in Iraq for the period (2004-2022), and then there may be another scientific approach that we will resort to in the course of our treatment of the issue, which is the analytical method while following some standard procedures to understand the nature of the data and variables that affect the crisis.
Among the most prominent results of the research: German revenues received to Iraq fluctuated from the year (2004-2022), falling below (30 billion m3) in dry years, as the results showed that agricultural activity ranked first in the process of consumption of German resources, which affects and is affected by water security, at the same time, the contribution of this activity to the pollution of surface waters due to the use of fertilizers and pesticides, and the various solid and liquid agricultural waste poses on the German Environment, and then sustainable agricultural development is significantly affected by its agricultural results, and the results surface degradation of its quality as a result of storage and causes contaminated water discharged from In general, the water crisis in Iraq was not largely a problem of shortage or scarcity of available resources, nor accelerated population growth or a deficit in financial capabilities, but it is primarily a matter of failure and imbalance in agricultural policies and misuse of the human factor of the available resources in the region with the absence of political will and seriousness in action, and we have noted through this research that food production and achieving an increase in it is dependent on Water Resources, which is a determining factor in achieving both sustainable agricultural development and water security, and that the use of Water Resources in the Iraqi agricultural sector may also To some extent, it failed to rid the state budget of import restrictions and burdens, as access to food for the Iraqi citizen is still dependent on what the West ships, especially with regard to strategic foods such as cereals, which means poor efficiency of use of Water Resources in sustainable agricultural development.
The study recommended: In the absence of water security policies and strategies that regulate the management of the water sector, it is imperative to develop policies and action programs for the integrated management of water resources, as well as protecting water sources from pollution, which requires the activation of laws and legislations for water conservation and the construction of sewage and industrial water treatment plants to ensure the protection of German resources, as well as expanding the use of modern irrigation techniques such as spray and drip irrigation, redirecting water paths and distribution channels, lining irrigation channels and using pipes and automatic control gates to transport and distribute water, as well as Therefore, it is important to study and address this issue through the development of a comprehensive drought strategy in the long term in coordination with local, national and regional levels, and finally the development of national and regional plans to rationalize water uses, including the search for new resources and the study of the economics of their use and protection.

Abstract
The United Arab Emirates has established a distinguished economic and social model characterized by its ability to keep pace with rapid technological and digital transformations, as well as its continuous expansion in investment and development activities. Despite this progress, the UAE remains vulnerable to fluctuations resulting from global economic crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic, which had a substantial impact on financial markets, liquidity levels, and capital mobility.
This study examines the structural characteristics of the UAE economy and its development policies through key macroeconomic indicators, namely gross domestic product (GDP), the inflation rate, and the public debt ratio. It then analyzes the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the UAE banking system by focusing on Emirates NBD Bank and First Abu Dhabi Bank, based on selected financial indicators, including net profit, return on assets (ROA), and return on equity (ROE).
Among the most important conclusions reached by the study is that the COVID-19 crisis revealed the resilience and efficiency of the UAE banking sector in dealing with the pandemic and achieving an early recovery. This resilience contributed to financial stability and superior profitability for both banks. However, the pace and nature of recovery differed between the two institutions. Emirates NBD Bank achieved the highest levels of profitability and return on assets, while First Abu Dhabi Bank maintained steady growth, reflecting the adoption of a long-term risk management strategy. This diversity in banks’ policies contributes to the creation of a balanced banking system capable of effectively coping with crisis.
As for the key recommendations, the study emphasizes the need to strengthen the role of the banking sector in raising public awareness, as well as monitoring the damages suffered by customers in the aftermath of crises, giving due consideration to their interests, and ensuring the protection of their rights through a comprehensive set of regulatory and supportive measures.
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
The research addresses two main topics: the International Public Sector Standard (IPSAS 24) relating to the presentation of budget information in financial statements, and the Government Financial Management Information System (GFMIS).
In relation to IPSAS 24, the research focuses on clarifying how budget information is presented in public sector financial statements. The standard aims to achieve transparency and reliability in providing financial information to governments and government institutions. The research addresses various aspects of the standard, such as defining financial terms, basic principles, and requirements that must be met in submitting the budget.
For GFMIS, the research reviews and evaluates this system that is used in managing financial information for governments. GFMIS aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of government financial resources management, and facilitate financial planning, monitoring and evaluation processes. The concept of GFMIS, its components and benefits are reviewed, as well as the challenges of its implementation and future preferences for its development and improvement.
Overall, the research aims to provide previous researchers with an overview of IPSAS 24 and its importance in presenting budget information in public sector financial statements, as well as reviewing GFMIS and its role in improving government financial information management. This research can contribute to raising public sector awareness of the importance of adhering to international accounting standards in the public sector and using advanced financial information management systems to enhance transparency and effectiveness in managing the financial resources of governments.
The main reason for linking these two variables is to enhance transparency, accountability, and financial control in the public sector and ensure that government financial information complies with international accounting standards in the public sector. Therefore, reviewing these two variables and analyzing their role will provide an important theoretical and applied framework for understanding the relationship between them to rationalize the budget. The most important conclusions reached for the review research are that the main goal of applying the (IPSAS) standards is to achieve compatibility in accounting policies at the global level by providing guidance and directives to develop a comprehensive theoretical framework for government accounting. Evaluating government performance is achieved through commitment to applying the (24 IPSAS) standard., which allows the preparation of a variety of financial statements detailing the approved budget and actual expenditures, the final budget (adjusted allocation), and achieving the qualitative characteristics of accounting information. The government unit did not disclose in the financial statements the extent of compliance with legislative and regulatory laws and other regulations imposed by external parties. (The State) As for the recommendations, the researchers suggest that government institutions should commit to implementing the IPSAS 24 standard completely and accurately to ensure compliance with international accounting standards. Government institutions should analyze their actual needs and conduct a feasibility study before making any transfers in the original budget, in order to ensure a strong scientific basis and improve the institution’s performance in adhering to budget directives. Government institutions should fully and effectively implement GFMIS in all government units to enhance transparency and financial control. The GFMIS should also be configured in a way that meets the needs of the government unit in a way that enables it to record and track financial transactions and prepare financial reports in an accurate and timely manner.

Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent and life-threatening diseases worldwide, making early and accurate diagnosis essential for improving patient outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the performance of two machine learning models, Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and Gaussian Naive Bayes, for breast cancer classification using the Breast Cancer Wisconsin Diagnostic dataset. A comparative analysis was conducted based on several performance metrics, including Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1-score, Specificity, Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve, Area Under the Curve (AUC), Balanced Accuracy, and Confusion Matrix. In addition, feature importance analysis was performed to identify the most influential variables contributing to the classification process. The experimental results demonstrated that both models achieved high classification performance. However, the Gaussian Naive Bayes model showed slightly superior performance, achieving an Accuracy of 96.5% and an AUC of 0.997, compared with 96.0% and 0.993, respectively, for the XGBoost model. Furthermore, the analysis revealed that features related to tumor morphology, particularly concave points mean, perimeter worst, and radius worst, were among the most influential predictors of breast cancer classification. The findings indicate that both machine learning models provide reliable and effective tools for supporting early breast cancer diagnosis, with Gaussian Naive Bayes demonstrating a slight advantage for the dataset used in this study. These results highlight the potential of machine learning techniques to enhance diagnostic accuracy and support clinical decision-making.
Abstract
This study aimed to examine the impact of applying the Blue Ocean Strategy on enhancing the competitive advantage of Abu Shamala and Abu Dan General Contracting Company in the Gaza Strip. The independent variable was the Blue Ocean Strategy with its four dimensions (elimination, reduction, raise, and creation), while the dependent variable was the enhancement of competitive advantage. The research addressed the extent to which the strategy contributes to strengthening the company’s competitiveness amid the challenges facing the local construction sector. The entire company staff (30 employees) participated in the study through a comprehensive survey, achieving a 100% response rate. Using a descriptive analytical approach and SPSS statistical tools—including means, standard deviations, T-test, one-way ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis—the results indicated a very high application level of the Blue Ocean Strategy (84.8%) and a similarly high level of competitive advantage (84.2%). Statistically significant relationships were found between the dimensions of elimination, raise, and creation and the competitive advantage, with the creation dimension having a direct significant effect. No significant differences appeared in respondents’ assessments of the strategy based on gender, age, qualification, or job title, while differences were significant for specialization and experience, favoring administrative and financial specializations and those with over nine years of experience. Regarding competitive advantage, no differences were observed by gender, age, or job title, but significant differences existed by educational level (favoring those with a high school education or less), specialization, and experience (favoring administrative and financial fields and those with 3–6 years or over 9 years of experience). The study recommended adopting the Blue Ocean Strategy as a permanent management approach, focusing especially on the creation dimension, and enhancing institutional innovation by empowering and training employees.

Abstract
The research aims to analyze the complex paradox between the necessity of expanding the use of clean and renewable energy sources as a primary objective of sustainable development, and the inherent risks associated with using lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) as high-reliability and high-efficiency energy storage devices, given the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources. The research problem was summarized by assessing the capacity and flexibility of international measures and policies aimed at achieving sustainable development in confronting the inherent risks and challenges arising from the use of these batteries. The most prominent findings indicated a significant and growing negative impact on the (social, environmental, and economic) advantages achieved by expanding clean and renewable energy production. Consequently, there are negative repercussions on the (economic, social, and environmental) dimensions of the sustainable development process. The most important recommendations strongly emphasized the necessity of enacting legislation to regulate the management of this type of hazardous waste. Furthermore, they stressed the need for adequate support from stakeholders, particularly producers, to ensure that the current poor regulation and management of these practices do not cast their heavy shadow onto governments in the future, compelling them to deal with the resulting crises.

Abstract
In light of rapid economic changes and the increasing intensity of global competition, economic units seek to achieve excellence and efficiency by improving the management of their resources and reducing costs without affecting the quality of products or services. Rationalizing the allocation of costs is considered one of the modern administrative methods that aims to optimize the use of resources and distribute costs to activities. Strictly proportional to its contribution to creating added value in order to achieve this goal, value chain analysis has become an effective strategic tool that contributes to improving cost allocation and enhancing institutional performance. Value chain analysis, created by Michael Porter, depends on analyzing the main and supporting activities within the economic unit and evaluating them with the aim of identifying activities that contribute to creating value. Reality of the product or service from the customer's point of view, Compared to activities that raise costs without providing a tangible return, this methodology contributes to eliminating unnecessary costs and activities that do not add value, which helps achieve greater efficiency in allocating financial and human resources. Applying value chain analysis helps in restructuring operations in a way that ensures compatibility. Between diverse activities and market needs, This contributes to reducing waste and achieving a sustainable competitive advantage. It also contributes to enabling economic units to determine appropriate pricing strategies that reflect actual costs and help enhance profitability margins.
