Abstract
The significant development in information and communication systems among these organizations has presented businesses, particularly their senior leadership, with a major challenge: navigating this intense competition. They have had to seek a deeper vision and more comprehensive thinking, resulting in a strategic direction that defines the organization's path and establishes a general framework for its actions when facing all forms of environmental and organizational changes. This has made organizational commitment particularly important, given its vital nature and its clear link to the success or failure of organizations. Therefore, leadership behavior is an indicator of the effectiveness of leaders' performance and achievements. The skills and capabilities that strategic leaders possess, enabling them to influence the behavior of employees and achieve desired goals, are essential for the success of strategic leadership within an organization. It is therefore crucial to understand the most important roles and qualities of strategic leaders to align with the demands of the current era, and to grasp the main dimensions of job burnout in order to keep pace with rapid developments in all fields.

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
This study aims to analyze the role of reengineering digital thinking among university leaders and their belief in digital transformation in creating and adopting the smart university, which keeps pace with developments in artificial intelligence and digital tools. These represent some of the most important dimensions of digital transformation in an era in which digitalization has become one of the most significant competitive priorities. University leaders should therefore incorporate digital readiness into their strategic plans to ensure that the university completes the requirements of digital transformation, reaches the stage of becoming a smart university, and moves beyond traditional practices. Given the importance of reengineering leadership mindsets to foster belief in digitalization within higher education institutions and the need for universities to keep pace with rapid technological changes, the study problem was formulated around the question of the extent to which reengineering digital thinking among university leaders contributes to enhancing universities' digital readiness in a manner that supports the adoption of smart university dimensions and the achievement of the requirements of modern university transformation. The study adopted a descriptive-analytical approach. Its population and sample consisted of university leaders, including college deans, assistant deans, and heads of departments. A total of 73 valid responses were obtained for analysis. The study was based on three main variables. The first variable was reengineering digital thinking, comprising the following dimensions: leadership's belief in digital transformation, strategic digital vision, data-driven thinking, rapid responsiveness to digital changes, digital knowledge sharing, and digital skills updating. The second variable was digital readiness, comprising the dimensions of digital foresight, agile organizational structure, digital governance, digital competencies, and digital proactivity. The third variable was the smart university, comprising the dimensions of smart infrastructure, smart education, smart digital administration, smart services, digital innovation, and smart core capabilities of faculty members. The study found a significant correlation and significant effect between reengineering digital thinking and digital readiness. It also revealed a significant effect of digital readiness on the adoption of the smart university. These findings indicate that developing and reengineering digital thinking among university leaders contributes effectively to enhancing the level of digital readiness of universities, which, in turn, positively affects their ability to adopt smart university systems and improve the efficiency of academic and educational performance. The results also demonstrated that strategic digital vision, data-driven thinking, and digital skills updating are among the most influential dimensions in supporting the transition toward the smart university. The study recommends that universities adopt specialized programs for reengineering the digital thinking of university leaders, strengthen digital governance, develop smart infrastructure, invest in developing digital competencies, and foster a culture of digital innovation. Such initiatives would contribute to the transition toward smart universities and enhance their competitiveness and sustainability in the contemporary higher education environment.
Abstract
This study aims to test whether the institutions listed on the Iraq Stock Exchange have a significant correlation between the level of conservative accounting practice with the level of market share returns during the Coronavirus pandemic period as one of the policies to confront the economic repercussions of the Coronavirus pandemic. Furthermore, the sample included institutions listed on the Iraq Stock Exchange during the 2019 and 2020 years, i.e., the period before the Coronavirus pandemic and during the Coronavirus pandemic for the purpose of comparison. The market value to book value model was used, and the study found that conservative institutions had achieved the highest level of market share prices compared to non-conservative institutions, and the study also found that conservative institutions during the Coronavirus pandemic had achieved a higher correlation coefficient during the pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period, where it reached Pearson correlation coefficient (0.932) during the 2020 year for conservative institutions, while the Pearson correlation coefficient between conservatism and the market value of shares reached (0.853) during 2019,and A study found that the effect of accounting conservatism on market share prices for the year 2019 amounted to (0.731), which is significant regression, and in 2020 it reached (0.852), which is a significant regression, that is, the effect increased by (0.121) during the pandemic period , and this is evidence of the market need for conservatism. Therefore, our study recommends the adoption of accounting conservatism, but in a reasonable manner without exaggeration to face challenges and crises, because the market trusts more conservative accounting policies compared to the impulsive policy.
Abstract
This research aims to explore the role of accounting in improving the financial performance of both public and private institutions, focusing on how modern accounting tools such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and cloud-based accounting software can enhance financial efficiency and increase transparency. The study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach, using surveys to collect data from accountants and financial managers within various institutions.

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
In light of the rapid digital transformation that has reshaped the educational landscape, smart learning technologies have emerged as one of the most significant contemporary trends that higher education institutions seek to adopt in order to enhance the quality of the educational process and improve both academic and administrative performance. The adoption of these technologies is no longer viewed as merely a developmental option; rather, it has become a strategic necessity driven by the demands of the contemporary educational environment and continuous technological advancements. Accordingly, this study aims to examine the adoption of smart learning technologies as the dependent variable through four dimensions: smart technological compatibility, performance expectancy, interaction, and institutional support, which collectively reflect the readiness and capability of educational institutions to effectively utilize modern technologies in supporting teaching and learning processes. Conversely, organizational mindfulness is examined as the independent variable through its five dimensions: preoccupation with failure, reluctance to simplify interpretations, sensitivity to operations, commitment to resilience, and deference to expertise. These dimensions enhance the institution's ability to anticipate organizational and technological changes and respond to them proactively and effectively. The significance of this study stems from the uniqueness of its empirical context within the Zakho Independent Administration, which is currently pursuing an ambitious vision for institutional development and educational modernization. The Technical College and Technical Institute in Zakho represent key pillars in supporting this transformation toward a more advanced and sustainable educational environment. The study adopted a descriptive-analytical research design and targeted a purposive sample of 82 faculty members and administrative leaders from the Technical College and Technical Institute in Zakho. To ensure the robustness and accuracy of the findings, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed using Smart PLS software to test the proposed hypotheses. The findings are expected to demonstrate that organizational mindfulness serves as a fundamental organizational capability that facilitates the successful adoption of smart learning technologies. Furthermore, the study provides a scientific framework that can support educational decision-makers in developing smart learning environments capable of meeting future educational challenges and promoting sustainable development within the region.
Abstract
In the modern digital landscape, a growing number of consumers are actively avoiding traditional advertising channels. This trend is driven by factors such as information overload, advertising fatigue, and increasing concerns over data privacy. As a result, marketers face significant challenges in reaching and engaging these ad-avoidant consumers, necessitating the development of new strategies that align with consumer preferences while remaining effective. The proliferation of digital media has empowered consumers to control their exposure to advertisements more than ever before. This control has led to a rise in ad avoidance, where consumers actively seek to minimize or eliminate their interactions with traditional advertising methods. This study addresses the challenge of identifying effective marketing strategies that can engage these ad-avoidant consumers without compromising ethical standards or violating their privacy. The central research problem is to explore and identify effective marketing strategies that resonate with consumers who avoid traditional advertising. The research aims to uncover methods that not only reach but also engage this segment of the population in a way that respects their preferences and upholds ethical marketing practices. The study utilizes a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative case studies. Quantitative surveys provide insights into the behaviors and motivations of ad-avoidant consumers, while qualitative case studies analyze successful marketing campaigns that have effectively engaged this audience. Additionally, a comprehensive literature review on digital marketing trends and consumer behavior is conducted to inform the research. Results: 1. Value-Driven Content: Content marketing strategies that offer genuine value, such as educational or entertaining content, are more effective in engaging ad-avoidant consumers compared to traditional advertising methods.2. Personalization: Personalized, data-driven marketing approaches that tailor messages to individual consumer preferences lead to higher engagement rates among ad-avoidant individuals.3. Transparency and Trust: Consumers who avoid traditional ads are more likely to engage with brands that prioritize transparency and clearly communicate how their data is used, reinforcing trust and loyalty. Recommendations: 1. Focus on Content Marketing: Businesses should invest in creating high-quality, value-driven content that resonates with consumers, as this approach is more likely to engage ad-avoidant individuals.2. Enhance Personalization: Marketers should leverage data to create personalized experiences, ensuring that marketing messages are relevant and respectful of consumer preferences, which increases the likelihood of engagement.
