Additionally, efforts were made to incorporate insights from recent graduates, international recruiters, and various websites dedicated to university students and staff. This approach aimed to ensure the accuracy of the data collected and to validate the standards employed in the study.

The investigation yielded several significant findings. Notably, the marketing efforts of Iraqi private universities play a critical role in enhancing both their local and global rankings. The study concluded that these universities can improve their standings in both local and international rankings by implementing strategies that enhance their online presence while ensuring high levels of satisfaction among graduates and employers.

Aveen Al-Naaeb, Luma Hameed

Pages: 338-347

PDF Full Text
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.

Pages: 01-02

Full Text
Abstract

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 Traditional methods, techniques, and tools have become outdated, prompting universities to enter into agreements with specialized global companies in technology, software, and tools.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

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

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

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

Abstract

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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