The technique used for collecting the data of 384 manufacturing industry (SME) in Iraq is quantitative technique with the instrument questionnaire to check the data by the using of (PLS-SEM) Model The finding results indicated that knowledge management was a positive and statistically significant mediating variable between the IT capability and the innovative capacity. Finally, there was a positive statistically significant mediation between knowledge management skills and IT capacities. The impact of mediation between knowledge management capacities and innovation capacities was also being felt. A practical contribution is suggested by the investments that needs to be done in the field of information and communication technology (ICT) that would be used as a strategic axis to promote innovation for SME in Iraq. The model accounted for much of the variance in the two constructs, namely innovation capabilities and knowledge capacities study, explaining the mechanisms that enable SMEs to innovate in Iraq, according to the Resource Based View approach (RBV).

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the role of customer relationship management (CRM) quality in reducing administrative work stress among employees at Warith Al-Anbiya University (PBUH). This was achieved through a field study that sought to determine the extent to which trust and commitment, two of the most prominent components of CRM quality, contribute to addressing the levels of work stress experienced by university employees. Work stress was measured according to four main dimensions: administrative workload, nature of administrative work, role ambiguity, and role conflict. The study employed a descriptive-analytical approach. Data was collected through a questionnaire distributed to employees in administrative departments, the Human Resources Division, the Finance Department, and the university's colleges. A total of 98 questionnaires were distributed, of which 88 were returned and deemed valid for statistical analysis, representing a response rate of 89.8%, which reflects a good level of engagement with the research instruments. The statistical analysis revealed a significant impact of customer relationship management (CRM) quality on reducing administrative work stress. The results showed that trust and commitment clearly contribute to lowering ambiguity and role conflict, as well as reducing the workload resulting from daily organizational interactions. The findings also confirmed that improving CRM quality within the university environment enhances the effectiveness of administrative procedures and contributes to a more stable and supportive work environment for employees. The study recommends that the university adopt sustainable strategies to promote trust and commitment within its CRM system, given its direct impact on improving performance efficiency and reducing stress, thereby enhancing the quality of services provided to both students and visitors.

Abstract

This study evaluates how International financial reporting standards (IFRS) can control the development of sustainable and fair value of economic entities through the governance role. Following the growing dynamism of the global business world and the growing demands of transparency and accountability, the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that have been created by the International financial reporting standards Board (IFRSB) are now instrumental to the quality of financial reporting and accruing greater investor and stakeholder trust. In addition, the implementation of these standards in the framework of the effective governance system also helps in enhancing financial and non-financial disclosure concerning sustainability that helps in attaining the long-term value taking into account both economic, social and environmental aspects. The methodology in the study was descriptive-analytical. The sample size of 50 accountants and auditors of different companies was employed to create data using a questionnaire. Analytical data was conducted on the basis of SPSS software and path analysis models. The research model contained three key variables namely, the governance role of IFRS, which serves as the independent variable, the quality of disclosure and transparency, which relates to sustainability as the mediator variable, and the generation of sustainable fair value as dependent variable. The findings showed the direct and indirect influence of governance on sustainable value creation wherein disclosure quality was a partial mediator in such a connection. The results indicate that when corporate governance is combined with the use of international standards, the transparency and corporate responsibility increase and this adds to the long-term corporate value as well as supporting sustainable development and equity among the stakeholders.

Abstract

This research aims to demonstrate the role of accounting as a strategic tool for achieving sustainable economic development through the adoption of program and performance budgeting. It also seeks to clarify how to bridge the gap between the allocation of financial resources and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by transitioning from a traditional, input-based budget to one focused on measurable results and outputs. The research methodology comprises two aspects: the first is a theoretical and inductive approach, relying on previous studies and research on the topic; the second is an applied approach, involving the distribution of a paper questionnaire to a sample of accountants in the Najaf and Kufa Education Directorates in 2026, yielding 100 respondents. The hypothesis was tested using the SPSS statistical software. The results revealed a strong correlation between the effectiveness of the accounting role and the application of performance budgeting in promoting the dimensions of sustainable development. The research demonstrated that the role of accounting in supporting performance budgeting can explain changes in the level of achieving sustainable development, reflecting the fundamental importance of this role. Program and performance budgeting, through the activation of the accounting role, contributes to providing precise standards for measuring the efficiency of public spending, thus helping to overcome the shortcomings of traditional budgeting, which often encouraged waste.

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!

Abstract

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

This study examines the preventive role of Legal Technology (LegalTech) in monitoring anti-competitive behaviors, with a particular focus on current challenges in Iraq. The problem arises from the limitations of traditional tools in detecting collusion and monopolistic practices, in contrast to the potential offered by LegalTech solutions such as artificial intelligence algorithms and digital reporting platforms. The research adopts a descriptive-analytical and comparative methodology, reviewing successful international experiences (the European Union, Singapore, and the United Kingdom), alongside an Iraqi case study in a key sector. The underlying hypothesis suggests that while LegalTech provides promising opportunities for regulatory oversight, its effectiveness in Iraq depends largely on the development of digital and legislative infrastructures. Preliminary findings indicate that LegalTech can play the role of an "early warning mechanism" against anti-competitive practices. However, Iraq faces structural and legislative challenges that require urgent addressing.

Accordingly, the research seeks to provide a cognitive and policy contribution that deepens understanding of the preventive role of LegalTech and supporting Iraqi decision-makers in addressing current challenges, thereby fostering a fairer and more competitive economic environment.

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

This study aims to analyze the role of digital entrepreneurship as a mediating variable in the relationship between smart leadership and the strategic ambidexterity of human resources in a number of software and smart application companies in Najaf Governorate. The study is based on the assumption that smart leadership, with its dimensions (emotional intelligence, spiritual intelligence, and rational intelligence), represents a modern approach to enhancing the strategic capabilities of human resources; however, its impact is strengthened through the adoption of digital entrepreneurship practices within the organization. The study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach with an exploratory orientation. The research population consisted of 93 employees across ten companies, while the sample included 70 respondents, representing a 75% response rate. Data were collected באמצעות a questionnaire based on established scientific scales and analyzed using appropriate statistical methods to test the relationships of influence and the mediating role. The results revealed a significant positive effect of smart leadership on the strategic ambidexterity of human resources, as well as a significant effect of smart leadership on enhancing digital entrepreneurship. The findings also indicated that digital entrepreneurship strengthens the relationship between smart leadership and strategic ambidexterity, reflecting its partial mediating role. Furthermore, the results confirmed that adopting digital entrepreneurship practices enhances the ability of human resources to explore and exploit opportunities, thereby supporting the achievement of strategic excellence for organizations.

Abstract

The role of small and medium enterprises is essential in economic and social development and is the focus of attention of governments and international organizations, most notably the United Nations Industrial Development Organization. Their importance increases in developing countries because they represent the only realistic prospects for economic development and an effective tool for addressing the problem of unemployment and poverty there. The research aims to clarify the concept of small and medium enterprises and their role in achieving comprehensive economic and social development in Iraq in the current and future stages. The descriptive and deductive approaches were followed, in an attempt to link small and medium enterprises and sustainable development in the Iraqi economy in this research. Small and medium enterprises face a number of obstacles that limit their contribution and effectiveness in sustainable development in Iraq, then explaining the most important details in order to develop appropriate solutions for them. In this research, we will focus on several concepts for small and medium enterprises and shed light on the most important conclusions, including that the private sector of small and medium enterprises is in dire and necessary need of government support to be able to advance and develop. In conclusion, a number of recommendations were presented for the development of small and medium enterprises, and we hope that they will be of assistance in the research topic, including the urgent need for the Iraqi government to play an important role in creating supportive regulatory frameworks through collective funds and other mechanisms, establishing microfinance units in the Ministry of Trade and the Central Bank of Iraq to provide the necessary consultations for the work of small projects.

Abstract

The rentier orientation of fiscal policy in Iraq after 2003 has led to an over-reliance on oil revenues and a neglect of the productive, operational, and financial role of non-oil sectors. This underscores the need to adopt a fiscal reform policy aimed at boosting non-oil revenues by focusing on the productive, operational, and financial role of the non-oil sector as a means to reduce unemployment, deprivation, and poverty rates. • This research is based on the premise that fiscal policy measures in Iraq have failed to achieve the necessary fiscal reforms to support the productive, operational, and financial role of non-oil productive activities. This has led to increased unemployment rates and, consequently, higher rates of multidimensional poverty. The research employs a deductive and descriptive-analytical approach. • The study recommends adopting fiscal reforms that diversify revenues by increasing non-oil revenues. This would broaden options, increase job opportunities, reduce unemployment and poverty rates, ensure access to employment for vulnerable groups, enhance the equitable distribution of income sources, and reduce poverty in its various dimensions in Iraq

Abstract

Despite the successive governments’ efforts to achieve the dimensions of sustainable development in Iraq, the current reality indicates that Iraq remains one of the countries lagging in this field. Therefore, this research analyzes the status of the banking sector in light of banking reforms and the capital market’s role in promoting and achieving the dimensions of sustainable development. It sheds light on some key indicators and concludes with a set of findings, the most important of which is that Iraq is still behind in realizing sustainable development due to the difficult circumstances it faces. These include the persistent deficit in the general budget, the lack of genuine efforts to achieve sustainable development, increasing environmental pollution, and the widespread phenomenon of financial and administrative corruption, all of which can undermine any development plan. The research concludes with a set of recommendations, the most significant of which are: monitoring the outcomes of strategic plans set by government institutions within their work programs and disclosing achievement rates in creating opportunities, employment, and realizing the benefits of large-scale production; strengthening cooperation between banks and the capital market by having banks offer diversified financial and investment services within the capital market; establishing green investment funds jointly financed by banks and investors to support sustainable development; and raising awareness among investors about the importance of sustainable development and their role in achieving it.

The research results also showed that the optimal portfolio’s return when prices rose after the reverse split was higher than the portfolio’s return after the price decline. However, the risk of the optimal investment portfolio when prices fell after the reverse split was higher, the risk of the investment portfolio is higher when prices rise after implementation. The reverse split did not play any role in improving the performance of the investment portfolio whether prices rose or fell. Therefore, investment portfolio managers who seek to achieve high levels of returns regardless of the level of risk associated with those returns should buy shares of banks that implemented the split decision. Reverse, and this requires the management of the Iraq Stock Exchange to include the reverse split within the procedures in effect in the Iraq Stock Exchange.

Abstract

Digital markets have undergone significant transformations, creating opportunities for growth but also presenting challenges related to the reliability of information and the emergence of "information manipulation" practices that negatively impact investors' decisions. This research aims to analyze the role of financial accounting in mitigating this phenomenon by highlighting the relationship between the quality of accounting information and the level of transparency in digital markets. The study adopted a descriptive-analytical approach to review previous literature, alongside a survey method through a questionnaire distributed to a sample of 112 individuals, including accountants, auditors, and investors. The research focused on specialized tools and techniques in digital financial accounting, such as the implementation of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which aim to standardize and regulate financial disclosure globally. The study also addressed electronic accounting information systems, relying on cloud-based software like QuickBooks and Xero, which help improve financial transparency and facilitate precise tracking of financial transactions. Additionally, the study emphasized the role of external independent auditing, which contributes to ensuring the credibility of financial data and reducing manipulation, as well as the importance of corporate governance through the application of strict rules to ensure transparent financial disclosure, thereby enhancing trust in digital markets. The results revealed a noticeable prevalence of information manipulation in digital markets, such as inflated indicators and exaggerated advertisements. The study also found a statistically significant inverse relationship between the quality of accounting information and information manipulation, where the application of international standards, electronic accounting systems, external auditing, and corporate governance significantly contribute to reducing manipulation and enhancing the reliability of information.

Abstract

The research aims to demonstrate the role of sustainable budget requirements in improving the Iraqi financial situation through the use of a set of requirements to be relied upon when preparing the budget, and to achieve the objectives of the research, a study was conducted of the indicators of the Iraqi economy for the years (2004-2021). A set of conclusions and recommendations were reached, the most prominent of which is that Iraq relies heavily on non-renewable financial resources, and this exposes its economy more to financial crises as a result of fluctuating prices of non-renewable resources. Accordingly, it is necessary to find renewable financial resources that can be relied upon in the event of a recession occurring for non-renewable resources. As a large proportion of Iraq's resources go to pay off debts because of its heavy dependence on these resources, the prices of which fluctuate from one period to another, as happened in the years (2008, 2016, 2020). Therefore, attention must be paid to the requirements of the sustainable budget because of their significant role in reviving the Iraqi financial situation. The research also recommends Iraq's interest in renewable financial resources because it represents an important alternative that can be resorted to in the event of fluctuating oil prices instead of relying on debt.

Abstract

Corruption has become a significant challenge in many countries around the world at various levels, whether in the public or private sectors, and has topped the priorities of many national and international reports. Corruption is not just an issue related to the implementation and quality of governance, but has become a major challenge that hinders sustainable economic growth, fair human development, social justice, and equality between different groups. One of the main goals of governments is to reduce the social ills and problems resulting from corruption, and this is the first step in integrating the interconnection and absolute communication between various aspects of development. Therefore, a successful society is one that is capable of reducing corruption. There is a growing tendency at the international level to adopt technology to combat and reduce corruption, as technology plays an effective role as a transparent oversight tool and allows for greater accountability. Thus, it is an important tool for sustainable development, as the technological tool facilitates the collection, analysis, and updating of data, providing greater flexibility in addressing types and forms of serious financial and administrative corruption recognized internationally. It is also a tool that contributes to the development of better mechanisms to combat corruption and governance strategies, and environmental protection, health, education, communications, and poverty reduction are considered key indicators in preventing and combating corruption. This research reviews the role of modern technology in combating administrative and financial corruption in both developing and developed countries, as it is considered one of the most prominent factors that contribute to improving transparency and reducing opportunities for corruption, clarifying the relationship between corruption and sustainable development, and explaining how corruption negatively affects financial resources and hinders the achievement of social justice and economic development.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the role of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in promoting digital transformation in the banking sector. This is of great importance due to its significant impact on monetary policy. Through the application of digital technologies, banks and financial institutions can greatly improve their procedures, leading to changes in banking liquidity. Digital transformation can contribute to increased cash flows and improved liquidity management, thus affecting the central bank's ability to implement monetary policy effectively. Thanks to big data analytics and AI, banks can better identify economic needs, influencing interest rate decisions. Therefore, it can be said that digital transformation plays a significant role in shaping monetary policy and opens the door to significant improvements in the management of fiscal and monetary policies and creative thinking skills. Traditional reliance on auditing methods does not keep pace with rapid technological developments, and auditors' weak adoption of creative thinking methods in addressing audit problems negatively affects the quality of audits and the accuracy of their results. The importance of this research lies in its aim to provide a comprehensive framework that combines modern technological tools and creative approaches to digital work, thereby contributing to the development of critical practices and enhancing the quality of its results according to standards of efficiency and effectiveness. The advanced statistical software Smart Pals and appropriate statistical methods were used to test the hypotheses. The results showed a statistically significant effect of using artificial intelligence technologies (expert systems, machine learning, continuous auditing, natural language processing, and robotic process automation) across all dimensions. This indicates the importance of AI applications in improving the quality of external auditing. Furthermore, the use of AI technologies has a positive impact on investor decisions through the quality of external auditing. Based on these findings, the researcher recommends that all accountants and auditors keep pace with technological developments and respond to changes in the surrounding environment by developing their AI skills. Audit firms should also be encouraged to adopt AI technologies in their work by replacing manual systems with computerized systems. The study aimed to analyze the impact of digital transformation indicators (ATMs, electronic payment cards, electronic point-of-sale systems, and instant settlement transfers). Adopting digital technologies has contributed to reducing reliance on cash and increasing the efficiency of monetary policy. However, in Iraq, limited effects were observed due to structural challenges such as weak infrastructure and economic instability.

Despite the persistence of some geographical and social gaps, the study recommends the need to develop digital infrastructure, enhance financial literacy, and update regulatory frameworks to keep pace with the digital transformation of banking in Iraq.

Abstract

This research aimed to highlight the role of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in improving the quality of government financial reports to support the efficient allocation of resources for poverty reduction programs. To achieve this goal, the researchers adopted descriptive and analytical methodologies to theoretically characterize the research variables, prepare the practical component, and analyze the data collected on the research problem using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Data was collected on the main research variables: AI technologies (using the Digital Transformation Index), the Government Support Index, and the Poverty Rate. The Unemployment Rate was used as a control variable, given its direct impact on poverty. The study reached several conclusions, most notably that the Digital Transformation Index plays a role in poverty reduction by improving financial reporting and enhancing resource management efficiency. The Government Support Index did not show a significant impact, reflecting the inefficiency of resource allocation. The research recommended increasing reliance on AI technologies in this field to ensure the proper reallocation and distribution of resources to those in need, thereby addressing the problem of poverty in Iraq.

Here, marketing plays an important role, not only by aligning a company’s strategy with the environment, but also by promoting the importance of implementing this concept. Green marketing relies on the use of promotional methods that focus on the environmental benefits of products and services. By marketing sustainable solutions, companies such as Asia Renewable Energy (the case study) can, according to our research findings, raise environmental awareness among their audiences and encourage consumers to adopt environmentally friendly behaviors. Marketing green products not only promotes the environment but also reflects social values that respect human rights and equality. By applying the principles of sustainability, companies enhance the well-being of society by providing clean, sustainable energy that contributes to reducing pollution and improving the quality of life. Marketing innovations in renewable energy contributes to stimulating demand for these solutions, which enhances the ability of companies to grow sustainably. By focusing on marketing solar, wind or other renewable technologies, companies like Asia Renewable Energy can contribute to the transition to a low-carbon society. Asia Renewable Energy can serve as an excellent example of applying green marketing strategies to support sustainable development. Some of the points that can be highlighted in this study are: Renewable energy products and services The company’s focus on providing clean and sustainable energy solutions, such as solar panels and wind power. Using new or innovative technologies in the field of renewable energy, which enhances its position in the market as an environmentally responsible company.

The regression analysis revealed that the dimensions of good digital governance collectively explain approximately 52% of the changes in strategic sovereignty (R² = 0.52), with a statistically significant overall standardized effect size (β = 0.68). At the dimension level, the results showed that digital transparency, digital accountability, and service efficiency were the most influential dimensions in enhancing strategic sovereignty, followed by digital participation and fairness and equity. This underscores the pivotal role of these practices in supporting the independence of strategic decision-making and strengthening institutional capacity to respond to challenges.

Abstract

This research aims to clarify the theoretical framework of the concepts of digital financial inclusion and financial exclusion, explaining their main causes and analyzing the role of digital financial inclusion in reducing financial exclusion. Digital financial inclusion is one of the most important pillars contributing to economic development. The importance of this research stems from the significance of studying financial exclusion in modern economic literature, as it addresses a crucial aspect of Iraqi society that exacerbates poverty and deprivation. The research highlights the role of digital financial inclusion in mitigating and addressing this issue. It is based on the hypothesis that digital financial inclusion significantly contributes to reducing financial exclusion by bringing financial services closer to those excluded in remote areas and integrating them into the formal financial system. The research concludes that digital financial inclusion provides financial services in a digital format suitable for the needs of poor and marginalized groups, especially in remote and rural areas. It recommends developing a strategic plan with a specific timeframe, implemented in phases, to achieve a high level of digital financial inclusion in remote areas, supported by sufficient financial resources and an appropriate legal framework.

Abstract

Gold is a rare, limited, and highly liquid asset. However, it is a luxury commodity and therefore can be considered an investment opportunity. It is readily available and does not carry significant risks to its users. Furthermore, there are no associated credit risks. Given these characteristics, it is a highly significant asset and plays a fundamental role in investment portfolios. These characteristics increase investors' interest in including gold in their portfolios, especially during times of financial crises. If an investor decides to include gold in their investment portfolio, it is essential to evaluate the proportion of gold in the portfolio, taking into account risk, return, and diversification. This study attempts to test and prove the hypothesis: Does gold provide good diversification for an investment portfolio? Is gold an important asset in an investment portfolio? Do investment portfolios that include precious metals such as gold show a better performance rate than portfolios that do not contain them? In addition, the research focuses on building an optimal investment portfolio of stocks, an investment portfolio of gold and stocks, an investment portfolio of stocks and cryptocurrencies, an investment portfolio of cryptocurrencies and gold, and an investment portfolio of stocks, cryptocurrencies, and gold. The current research is the first Iraqi, Arab, and international research that includes gold in portfolios of stocks, currencies, and cryptocurrencies simultaneously. The research sample consisted of (21 stocks) listed on the Iraq Stock Exchange, and (21) global cryptocurrencies for the period from (January 2017 - September 2023). The research concluded that including gold in stock portfolios clearly improves their performance.

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the strategic role of Strategic Renewal (across its core dimensions: content, context, and process) in mitigating Organizational Anomie and its behavioral and value-based manifestations (anomie/normlessness, organizational cynicism, and the absence of values) within the dynamic organizational environment of Zain Iraq for Telecommunications. To achieve the research objectives, a descriptive-analytical approach was adopted. Data were collected through a specially designed questionnaire distributed to a purposive sample of leaders and administrators within the company. The data were analyzed using SPSS, employing descriptive statistical methods (Arithmetic Means and Standard Deviations) and inferential statistics (Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Simple Linear Regression). The results revealed high levels of both strategic renewal practices and organizational anomie within the surveyed company. Furthermore, a statistically significant inverse correlation was identified between the two variables, indicating that higher levels of strategic renewal are associated with a decrease in organizational anomie. Regression analysis further demonstrated that the dimensions of strategic renewal collectively explain 60% of the variance in organizational anomie, with the "Process" dimension exerting the strongest impact, followed by "Context" and "Content." The research concludes that strategic renewal serves as an effective entry point for curbing value-based and behavioral disintegration (anomie) in organizations operating in rapidly changing environments; however, its effectiveness is maximized when it encompasses processes and a supportive organizational context, rather than being limited to strategic content alone. The study recommends that the company's management focus on enhancing the value-driven and cultural aspects of renewal while bridging the trust gap between management and employees to achieve more integrated and sustainable strategic renewal

Abstract

 The problem of the housing sector is considered one of the most important problems that the Iraqi society has suffered from since the fifties of the last century, for several reasons, such as the large and rapid population increase that occurred in recent decades, and the accompanying large-scale migration from rural areas to city centers, and reasons related to the political, economic and security conditions.  In addition to the weakness of the financing system due to weak financing policies supporting housing, as the crisis increased due to the growing housing need, which is estimated at about (3) million housing units, so the Central Bank pursued an unconventional monetary policy to activate the real economic sectors, including the housing sector, in order to alleviate the severity of the crisis  housing in Iraq, and the Real Estate Bank has played a major role in providing real estate loans and alleviating the housing crisis under the initiative of the Central Bank of Iraq.

Abstract

The general budget is described as the main driver for drawing up the economic policy in the country, and the optimal exploitation of the revenues obtained by the state is the best way to achieve economic balance. The achievement of economic balance for any country is closely linked to the type of resources that the government relies on to achieve economic growth, to achieve stability and prosperity for its people. Most of the Middle Eastern (developing) countries, including Iraq, depend on their economy on natural resources, which are known as (what nature provides of things that humans use in their economic activity to satisfy their needs, which were formed as a result of chemical reactions in which humans had no role in forming them, such as oil, gas and coal.

Abstract

The economy faces accumulated challenges, including high unemployment rates, particularly among young people, and the weak contribution of non-oil sectors to GDP, in addition to economic fluctuations related to oil prices. The research problem lies in the structural challenges that the Iraqi economy suffers from, most notably high unemployment rates, weak economic diversification, and excessive dependence on the oil sector, which has negatively affected the sustainability of economic growth. The research aims to demonstrate the role of foreign direct investment in stimulating unemployment and economic growth. The descriptive analytical method was used to reach the research results, which led to a number of conclusions, the most important of which is that foreign direct investment is one of the important tools for supporting economic growth in Iraq, as it provides capital flows that contribute to increasing productive capacity and improving GDP rates, especially in non-oil productive sectors. It also contributes to creating direct and indirect job opportunities through the establishment of new projects and the expansion of existing activities. The researchers recommend working to improve the investment environment by strengthening political and security stability, simplifying administrative procedures, combating corruption, and developing the legal framework regulating investment in a way that ensures the protection of investors and at the same time achieves the national interest.

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. Financial performance was assessed using key financial indicators such as Return on Investment (ROI), Return on Assets (ROA), liquidity ratios, and profitability ratios. Additionally, the research analyzes the economic and regulatory challenges institutions face in implementing modern accounting systems and the impact these challenges have on the accuracy of financial reporting. The findings indicate that the use of modern accounting systems significantly improves financial efficiency by accelerating the process of data collection and analysis, thus enabling more accurate strategic decision-making. The results also reveal that institutions face economic and regulatory challenges, such as changes in laws and regulations, which affect the effectiveness of accounting systems.

The research concludes that adopting modern accounting systems positively impacts financial performance but requires a flexible environment to adapt to economic and regulatory challenges.

Abstract

The research aims to highlight the role of lean manufacturing principles in enhancing the requirements of green manufacturing at Al- Karwanchi Company for beverages, healthy water, juices, dairy products, and energy drinks. The research problem lies in the company's lack of attention to recycling its products, despite using raw recyclable materials, leading to increased waste accumulation and environmental and health issues. This situation negatively impacts the environment and increases the costs of waste disposal and non-biodegradable materials.

To address this, adopting lean manufacturing principles becomes essential, as they focus on reducing waste and improving production efficiency to meet green manufacturing requirements. A questionnaire was designed for data collection and distributed to a sample of employees in the company, with 242 questionnaires collected from a population of 548 individuals. Data analysis was conducted using statistical software (SPSS V.26 - AMOS V.24).

The results supported the research hypotheses and confirmed the positive objectives and validity of the research model, revealing a direct impact of the independent variable (lean manufacturing) through its principles (both collectively and individually) on the dependent variable (green manufacturing) in terms of its requirements (collectively).

Based on these findings, several recommendations were made, the most important of which is that institutions should consider transitioning to a circular economy, where materials and waste are reused in the production process. This approach will help reduce environmental impacts and achieve greater resource sustainability.

Abstract

This research aims to identify the role of strategic leadership, through its dimensions (clarity of strategic direction, rational use of authority, and ethical and value framework), in achieving outstanding performance in the private universities included in the research sample. (153) valid questionnaires were distributed to the research sample, which included senior and middle management. The data were processed and analyzed using several statistical methods, most notably (arithmetic mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, Pearson correlation coefficient, and simple linear regression) using the SPSS V28 statistical software. One of the most important conclusions reached by the research is the existence of a statistically significant correlation between strategic leadership (with its three dimensions: clarity of strategic direction, rational use of authority, and ethical and value framework) and the level of outstanding performance in private universities. This indicates that adopting these dimensions contributes to enhancing the universities' ability to improve their focus on beneficiaries, develop their internal processes, and improve their human resource management as key inputs for institutional excellence. The research recommends the necessity of adopting an integrated strategic leadership system in private universities, based on developing clear and updated documents and strategies, promoting organized delegation of powers, establishing the ethical framework, building leadership and human capacities, and supporting a culture of innovation and continuous improvement, in a way that contributes to raising the levels of institutional performance and achieving excellence in the higher education environment.

To achieve the research objective, a questionnaire was formulated and distributed to a selected group of academics and professionals who possess sufficient experience and academic qualifications. The sample included (144) individuals. After analyzing the results, it was concluded that traditional (manual) accounting suffers from several weak points that could negatively affect the control of public spending. The results also concluded that adopting digital accounting technologies would contribute to improving financial control in public sector units by reducing the chances of tampering with records, enhancing the transparency of financial operations, tracking cash flow, and identifying any deviations in the implementation of budget items, in addition to the government’s ability to conduct proactive control. The research concluded with a set of recommendations represented by the necessity of applying digital accounting technologies, investing in digital technical infrastructure, and emphasizing the enhancement of coordination and joint work between the relevant authorities by holding a number of courses and seminars that clarify the importance of adopting these technologies to ensure their application in public sector units.    

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of banking digitalization in enhancing financial inclusion in Iraq by assessing the impact of digital banking services on empowering groups excluded from the formal financial system. The study adopts a quantitative analytical approach based on panel data from a sample of Iraqi commercial banks over the period 2015–2024. It examines financial inclusion indicators, including the number of newly opened bank accounts, the volume of electronic transactions, and the proportion of loans directed toward individuals and small businesses. These indicators are analyzed against banking digitalization measures, represented by the adoption of mobile and internet banking services and the volume of investments in technological infrastructure. Panel data regression models, namely Fixed Effects and Random Effects, are employed, in addition to the Hausman test to determine the most appropriate model. Instrumental Variables (IV) models are also used to address the potential issue of reverse causality between banking digitalization and the increasing demand for banking services. The results reveal a positive and statistically significant effect of banking digitalization on enhancing financial inclusion, particularly through increasing the use of electronic transactions and facilitating remote account opening. The findings also indicate variations in the magnitude of this effect between state-owned and private banks, with a greater impact observed among private banks, which demonstrate greater flexibility in adopting modern technologies. The study concludes that banking digitalization represents an effective pathway toward expanding financial inclusion in Iraq, provided that digital infrastructure is strengthened and public trust in electronic services is enhanced. The study offers several recommendations for policymakers and banks to improve access to financial services and empower financially underserved and unbanked populations.

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 the research is to review the relationship between industry and structural change in the Iraqi economy after 2003, which is marred by deviation,This required relying on the deductive approach and using the descriptive theoretical and analytical method for the purpose of verifying the validity of the hypothesis.
The research concluded that the role of industry is weak in bringing about change in the productive structure of the Iraqi economy during the research period and The reason for this is due to the imbalance in the production structure due to the limited contribution of the productive sectors in contrast to the dominance of the oil sector over its contribution to the output.
Accordingly, we see the necessity of adopting an unbalanced growth strategy by making the industrial sector the leader for development in order to increase its share in the output to initiate the change of the productive structure and the development of the local economy.

Abstract

The social responsibility of emerging organizations refers to the obligation of management to consider and respond to issues that extend beyond the organization’s administrative, economic, and legal requirements, in a manner consistent with social values and cultural tolerance. Management is composed of individuals who are responsible for routine decision-making and for formulating and implementing organizational policies. Accordingly, it can be argued that the ethical ideals and beliefs of these individuals, particularly their personal values, play an important role in shaping their decisions. Therefore, this study focuses on how cultural tolerance within organizations can contribute to creating and maintaining organizational cultures and a sense of social responsibility. These organizational cultures emphasize ensuring environmental and social sustainability. The study highlights the need for managers to pay greater attention to organizational social responsibility, particularly with regard to the influence of their personal values on their work through cultural tolerance. The first part discusses the concept of cultural tolerance and the relationship between values and organizational cultures within the context of Iraqi society. The second part provides a brief review of organizational social responsibility and explores the perceptions of participating managers, identifying the main thematic patterns embodied and adopted to achieve organizational objectives

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 aims to demonstrate the importance of applying responsibility accounting in economic units and its role in evaluating the performance of responsibility centers by shedding light on responsibility centers and ensuring commitment to implementing the policies and objectives of the economic unit. The problem lies in the fact that the use of traditional methods of performance evaluation results from a lack of attention to administrative accounting aspects and a focus on applying the responsibility accounting system through evaluating the performance of cost centers. Due to their reliance on traditional methods and the lack of sufficient information, this has led to a weakness in performance evaluation according to modern methods. In order to achieve the research objectives and verify the validity of its hypotheses, the responsibility accounting system was applied, and the industrial sector was chosen as the research community and the General Company for Food Products, represented by the Amin Factory, as the research sample. The research concluded with a set of conclusions and recommendations, the most important of which was that the research found that there is weakness and shortcomings in the accounting reports and information provided by the factory, and the neglect of the aspect of preparing monthly, quarterly and annual reports, including the preparation of the annual budget plan to identify deviations and determine their causes to work on finding solutions that help in raising the effectiveness and efficiency of operations within the factory. The study recommends that responsibility centers should be defined accurately and clearly, with the responsibilities and activities associated with them and how to allocate costs to each center being clarified. The factory should work on improving production and administrative operations in the various responsibility centers in order to improve the overall performance of the factory. The accounting and evaluation system should be developed to be more comprehensive and effective, including the definition of clear and measurable performance standards for evaluating the performance of responsibility centers.
