Abstract

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

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

Abstract

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Abstract

Abstract

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

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

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

Abstract

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

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

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

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

Abstract

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Abstract

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

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

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

Abstract

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Abstract

في ظل التحديات البيئية المتزايدة والتغيرات المناخية الحادة، باتت الحاجة ملحة إلى اعتماد نماذج اقتصادية مستدامة تراعي الحفاظ على البيئة وتدعم في الوقت ذاته النمو الاقتصادي والاجتماعي. ويُعد الاستثمار في اقتصاديات الكربون أحد أبرز الحلول المطروحة لتحقيق هذا التوازن، كونه يدمج بين تقليل الانبعاثات الكربونية وتعزيز الابتكار الاقتصادي الأخضر. تتناول هذه الورقة البحثية العلاقة بين هذا النوع من الاستثمار وأهداف التنمية المستدامة، مع التركيز على الفرص والتحديات المرتبطة به، وأمثلة دولية وعربية ناجحة في هذا المجال.

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 study addresses the nature of the intertwined and integrated relationship between the organizational health of business organizations in the Iraqi tourism sector and strategic immunity, according to what these variables witness from the emergence of artificial intelligence with its capabilities and driving powers in supporting the organizational environment to predict potential risks and challenges during future periods, as well as increasing the level of transparency in the business environment and improving the integration of artificial intelligence in the organizational circle, starting from planning and passing through describing the nature of internal processes, reaching the achievement of targeted institutional goals. Thus, the three variables: artificial intelligence, strategic immunity, and organizational health are no longer just individual concepts, but have become institutionalized strategic tools prepared for the future.

One of the most important determinants of the current study lies in addressing an underexplored research area. To the best of our knowledge, there is a notable scarcity of prior studies that integrate strategic immunity, organizational health, artificial intelligence, and organizational culture within a unified framework. Existing Arab and international studies tend to examine these dimensions separately, rather than as interconnected drivers of digital organizational resilience.

Abstract

Purpose of the Study: This research addresses a relatively new field; its primary objective is to determine whether the use of strategic momentum in productive organizations leads to the enhancement of organizational brilliance. Furthermore, the study aims to focus on modern strategic management approaches—including strategic momentum—and clarify their pivotal role in creating a comprehensive and integrated environment that fosters growth and differentiation, thereby advancing the industrial sector through the introduction of the concept of organizational brilliance.

Methodology: A sample was selected from employees at the Men’s Garments Factory in Al-Najaf Al-Ashraf. A questionnaire consisting of 22 questions was distributed to employees, including unit and division managers, department heads, accountants, and production staff. A total of 93 completed forms were collected.

Key Findings: The study results revealed a significant and meaningful impact of strategic momentum on organizational brilliance. According to the findings, the path coefficient of the explanatory variable (strategic momentum) showed strong influence on the responsive variable (organizational brilliance), indicating that strategic momentum plays a powerful role in organizing and enhancing employee brilliance within the industrial sector (the factory under study).

Applications of the Study: Strategic momentum can play a critical role in enhancing industrial performance by creating a comprehensive and integrated environment that promotes leadership brilliance, service excellence, innovation, knowledge, efficiency, and financial inclusion. This contributes to elevating the status of the factory under study. Productive factories that adopt strategic momentum can remain at the forefront of the curve, deliver superior services to their customers, maintain market share, and contribute to the sustainable and inclusive development of the national economy.

Abstract

       This study aims to present a proposed model for examining compliance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34 related to interim financial reports, in light of the requirements of the International Standard on Review of Interim Reports (ISRE 2410). The research relies on a comparative analysis of the requirements of the two standards to identify similarities in requirements as a prelude to designing the audit and review procedures required by external auditors. Based on the above, the first practical aspect was conducted by designing an examination form to determine the level of compliance with the requirements of IAS 34 and designing audit opinions and reviewing the requirements for preparing interim reports. The second practical aspect was the design of a questionnaire containing three sections related to ISA 34 and ISAE 2410. The primary conclusions indicate that a proposed model for assessing compliance with IAS 34, grounded in international auditing standards, improves the accuracy and transparency of interim financial reports while diminishing the variance in audit and review methodologies between external auditors and economic entities. Interim financial reports are not subject to external audit and review, as is the case with annual financial reports. Rather, the review is limited to a limited scope that is not binding on the units, and an opinion is not expressed in the audit report. Attention should be paid to including all detailed information in interim reports, as is the case with annual reports. The most prominent recommendations were to subject interim financial reports to audit and review, as well as to express a neutral technical opinion on the results obtained. It is necessary to develop specialized training programs for external auditors to implement interim review procedures in accordance with ISRE 2410 using the proposed model.

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 internal audit function is considered one of the basic functions in institutions because it is a source of information and data that is characterized by its credibility, and because it is a review and monitoring process of all the financial and non-financial operations of the institution in terms of discovering errors and shortcomings or even fraud and manipulation operations, and that one of the most important goals of the institution is its survival and continuity, and for this reason it led to the emergence of the internal audit function, and that the success of any institution lies in the success of its administrative and financial performance evaluation systems as it is the mirror reflecting the evaluation of actual performance compared to the planned performance of the institution.

The research aimed to determine the extent of the necessity of the internal audit function and performance within institutions, and the extent of the ability of institutions to achieve the desired goals through the optimal use of available resources. A set of tools were used, the most important of which were Arabic and foreign books, theses and dissertations in their theoretical aspect, while the practical aspect was the method of direct interviews with the working staff in the department who are specialists, observations and inquiries. Among the most important conclusions reached is that work is not done according to the schedule of tasks, as all the working staff in the department carry out all the work, and the organizational structure prepared by the Studies and Planning Department is not adhered to, as it was found that the Graduates and Certifications Division was merged in terms of work with the Registration and Acceptance Division.

Among the most important recommendations is obligating the department’s staff to implement the work according to the tasks assigned to each division and to work according to the tools of internal control (separation of responsibilities), obligating the divisions to the organizational structure in order to determine responsibilities and provide procedures that do not allow any staff to violate internal control. In short, the internal audit function contributes to achieving the effectiveness and efficiency of institutional performance by evaluating its operations and submitting the results of its work in the form of periodic reports to the institution’s senior management.

Keywords: Auditing, internal auditing, effectiveness, efficiency, institutional performance.

Abstract

The work environment and its components have gained great importance today due to the impact it has on its human capital. In recent years, studies have increased that discussed the negative and positive role of the work environment, as it is considered the main nerve of the organization’s success or failure. Here, we tried to shed light on some of the issues that can hinder the work of organizations and obstruct the achievement of their goals, including a toxic environment that makes employees feel the presence of penalties, the possibility of rejection, and being held guilty, with the necessity of constant defensiveness and humiliation. This is evident through the organizational leadership responsible for the organization, the culture of this organization and its employees, weak communication between them or dispersion, and the presence of blocs that cause fatigue and the impact they leave and the threat they pose if the matter is not addressed. This leads to a decrease in employee performance productivity, job attrition, an increase in work turnover, lack of progress at work, an inability to commit and achieve a balance between work and life, the occurrence of excessive professional fatigue, and conflicts that cause confusion in understanding roles. These are all signs that confirm the existence of a toxic work environment. Therefore, organizations whose environment is described as toxic face difficulty in maintaining, supporting, and attracting experienced human capital. One of the most important recommendations here is the necessity of encouraging and highlighting Positives and good relationships at work that serve the public interest and create a supportive social network that supports these relationships, while not forgetting to set red lines that should not be crossed and to maintain a safe distance with colleagues.

Abstract

The current study aims to identify the most important dimensions of customer emotional compatibility with digital and electronic products of organizations and their role in customer persuasion engineering, given that current or future organizations are digital organizations capable of manipulating the thoughts, visions, minds, and values ​​of customers and directing them toward their products. This indicates that the next sustainable development is digital sustainable development, as the digital transformation has cast its shadow over all organizations today. How will this be in the future after the rapid development of digital sciences?

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

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

Abstract

Developing countries in general and Arab countries in particular suffer from high population growth, and that these population increases exert a great influence and pressure on the available economic and financial resources, This leads to imbalances in the structure of society, which may be accompanied by a kind of inequality and demolition in the value system of those societies, if it is not accompanied by an increase in investment and employment and the creation of new incomes that are redistributed in a way that reduces social differences, increases the domestic product and then economic growth . The study aims to measure the effect of the relationship between population growth and economic growth by using the (ARDL) model. The study concluded that the effect of population growth is positive on economic growth during the study period. The study recommends giving attention to the labor force and employing it in the production process in a way that reduces societal disparities and enhances economic growth.

Abstract

Homes bias stock is considered a confusing phenomenon in the financial literature, due to its increase over time, as well as the absence of any justification for this increase. This study aims to analyze the determinants of local bias, especially during the study period, which went through many economic, financial and health crises. The intellectual argument from the study lies in the basic question whether the country's bias towards stocks is affected during the Karuna pandemic, as well as an attempt to know the determinants that affect the country's bias during the study period. A portfolio analysis of economies was conducted for the period (2005 to 2020).

In light of the data obtained for the study sample, represented by portfolios of foreign and local stocks and the market values of those portfolios, as well as several other determinants. The study sample consisted of (64) foreign portfolios. The duration of the study included (16) years for the sample studied as a whole, and it started in the year (2005) until the year (2020). Using many financial and statistical methods, the study reached many conclusions and recommendations, the most important of which are: According to the theory of portfolio selection and the country’s bias in light of uncertainty corona pandemic, In addition, the study proved that there are several factors, not a single factor, to explain the determinants of the country’s bias, among which are institutional and economic factors that bear the responsibility of reducing foreign investment returns, which are led by the cost-benefit input such as reserves, trade flows, gross domestic product, the number of listed companies and market capitalization. The other explanation is related to behavioral factors that focus on investor behavior, such as familiarity, conservatism, and overconfidence. This proof confirms the acceptance of the main hypothesis. The study concluded in the most important recommendation: the need for investors to be interested in diversifying their investments in order to reduce the country's bias towards local stocks. And to take advantage of external opportunities to achieve the best exchange between efficient returns and risks.

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.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the nature of the relationship between deposit structure and financial recovery in commercial banks. The sample consisted of ten Iraqi commercial banks during the period 2014–2023, and the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method was applied to analyze the relationship and effects among the study variables. The findings reveal that the deposit structure has a significant impact on several financial recovery indicators, namely return on equity (ROE), return on assets (ROA), capital adequacy ratio (CAR), and non-performing loans (NPL). The results further indicate that both savings deposits and time deposits exerted a negative effect on ROA, reflecting the limited ability of Iraqi banks to allocate depositors’ funds efficiently and generate adequate returns. Conversely, time deposits showed a clear positive impact on ROE. In addition, all types of deposits were found to have a positive and significant effect on both NPL and CAR, suggesting that growth in deposits increases lending activities and profitability, while also being associated with higher levels of non-performing loans. The significance of this study stems from the fact that deposits represent the primary source of funding for commercial banks and account for the largest share of their resources. However, the distribution of deposits by type and maturity does not necessarily guarantee financial recovery, particularly in light of the financial, health, economic, political, and technological crises that have adversely affected the Iraqi banking sector. Accordingly, the central research question is posed: To what extent does the deposit structure contribute to strengthening the ability of Iraqi commercial banks to achieve financial recovery?   The study concludes that bank managements should improve the quality of banking services and adopt both pricing and non-pricing strategies to attract more stable deposits, while directing them toward high-quality assets and investments that can enhance financial performance.

Abstract

       This study aimed to measure the impact of fair value indicators (net realizable selling value, asset replacement cost, net future cash flows) on investment efficiency as measured by the market value per-share to earnings per share model and the deviation from the expected investment model. The study followed a descriptive analytical approach to interpret the relationship between its variables. The study population consisted of extractive and mining industry companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange for the fiscal years (2019-2023), totaling (7) companies. To analyze the data and test the hypotheses, the following statistical methods were used: (descriptive statistics, test for stationarity in time series, Durbin-Watson test, Hausman test, multiple linear regression, simple linear regression), relying on the statistical software (EViews).

       The study concluded that there is a positive impact of fair value indicators (net realizable selling value, net future cash flows) on investment efficiency as measured by the market value per-share to earnings per share model, while they had a negative impact on investment efficiency as measured by the deviation from the expected investment model. Additionally, the study found that the asset replacement cost has a positive impact on investment efficiency as measured by the deviation from the expected investment model, and a negative impact on investment efficiency as measured by the market value per-share to earnings per share model.

       Based on the results of this study, the researchers concluded with several recommendations, the most important of which were: the necessity for extractive and mining industry companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange to expand their disclosure of financial information related to fair value indicators with clarity and transparency to attract investors and gain their trust.

Abstract

The research aimed to identify how to build models for selecting the optimal mix of investment portfolios, as well as presenting the stock returns of fifty-four companies listed on the Iraq Stock Exchange to facilitate investors' choice of the best investment alternatives by comparing stock returns with the financial market returns. Using monthly data spanning the period from March 2020 to May 2024, the research examined fifty-four companies listed on the Iraq Stock Exchange, covering all traded sectors. The research also demonstrated the importance of beta analysis (β) in classifying stocks into defensive and offensive, which helps investors build balanced financial portfolios that manage risks more effectively. The research reached several conclusions, the most important of which is that the pricing of capital assets depends on two important factors: the risk premium and the beta value. Consequently, any increase in either of these factors will be directly reflected in the prices of corporate assets.

Abstract

This paper examined the channels by which the effect of monetary policy is transmitted to macroeconomics in Iraq using one of the dynamic random general equilibrium models (DSGE, smets and wouters 2007). The study shows a general equilibrium model and analyzes precisely the channels of impact transmission and their effects, via a range of instruments used by the monetary authority through the mechanism of transmission of the effect of Iraqi monetary policy to some macroeconomic variables. This is illustrated by inflation targeting through the nominal fixed (exchange rate) through the foreign currency sale window , and the reason for using the exchange rate as a nominal constant is due to the financial shallowness suffered by the Iraqi economy and the separation of monetary behavior from the real behavior in the economy, as well as the absence of focus on a direction to the potential output (the level of natural unemployment rate), which led to the weakness of the impact of the Iraqi central tools in macroeconomic variables without monetary variables, and the research reached the effectiveness of the exchange rate channel without other channels to transmit the impact of monetary policy to the macroeconomic variables in Iraq, and this is what made the monetary authority stick to a policy The window of selling foreign currency for its ability to control liquidity levels and sterilize the economy from the undisciplined economic policies of the macroeconomic management partners in Iraq.

Abstract

Given the great importance of financial stocks and their significant role as one of the financial assets used in building the optimal investment portfolio, they are exposed to many risks, the most important of which is the decline in their market value. Therefore, our study addressed the reverse split method as a financial method used to raise the prices of financial stocks with low prices. A sample of Iraqi banks that suffer from A decrease in the level of share prices of (14) Iraqi banks for the period from 6/2014 to 6/2024, as the research aims to know the extent of the ability of the reverse segmentation method in building optimal investment portfolios when implementing the reverse segmentation, and two sides of the reverse segmentation were taken, which are the positive side represented by the rise in prices, as well as the negative side represented by the decrease Stock prices when implementing the reverse split, and the research aims to know the effect of this method on the returns and risks of stocks after its implementation, especially the returns and risks of portfolios that were built based on the cut rate as well as the performance of these portfolios, as it was found that the effect of the reverse split of stocks was found whether at a rise in the price level or at a fall in stock prices after its implementation, and that the returns The risk levels increased more when prices rose after the reverse split than when prices fell. 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

Public spending is one of the most important tools used by governments to achieve their economic and social goals, studying the relationship between public spending and inflation in Iraq is one of the important and vital topics, especially in light of the challenges facing the Iraqi economy such as oil price fluctuations and thus fluctuations in financial revenues, and the correct public spending management through which inflation rates can be monitored and controlled.

The research aimed to measure and analyze the impact of public spending on inflation in Iraq through the use of modern standard methods where the threshold model was used (Threshold Regression), as the research found that there are four thresholds during the research period, in the first threshold the relationship was positive between public spending and the inflation rate when the inflation rate is less than (3.699%), and that the increase in public spending by one unit It will lead to an increase in the inflation rate by (0.040%) before reaching this threshold, but in the value of the second threshold of inflation and after exceeding the rate of (3.699%), it is less than (4.399%) and that increasing  public spending by one unit will also lead to an increase in the inflation rate by (0.216%) before reaching this threshold, while the third threshold for the inflation rate after exceeding the rate of (4.399%), which is less than (6.399%) and that Increasing public spending by one unit will lead to an increase in the inflation rate by (40.26%) before reaching this threshold, while the fourth and last threshold for an inflation rate is greater than or equal to (6.399%), and that increasing public spending by one unit will lead to an increase in the inflation rate by (0.419%) before reaching this threshold. The research concluded with a number of proposals, the most prominent of which is the need for decision-makers to follow up the levels of public spending carefully at low spending levels. There may not be a significant impact on inflation in the future, and monitoring spending at high levels, there may be a significant impact that requires arbitrary policies to prevent hyperinflation.

Abstract

Theoretical Framework:

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

Objective:

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

Methodology:

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

Findings:

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

Recommendations:

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

Abstract

The goal of the paper is to reach the optimal decision by building the Fuzzy Linear Programming Model (FLPM) with fuzzy parameters represented by demand and production quantities. The study problem lies in the range that the model contributes to removing the uncertainty in determining the optimal amount of production, and to reach this value, available programs (MatlabV.10, Win Q.S.B V.2) were used to obtain the results of the optimal solution. The hypothesis of this study is that the Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) contributes to the uncertainty of the amount of production and demand. The research was based on an applied study of real data taken from the Iraqi General Cement Company, which is one of the most active companies in the Iraqi industry environment. Four factories (Kufa, Najaf, Babylon, Badoush al tawseea) were selected with their sample products for the company. The study used the model's order quantities, production requirements, and production quantity with Triangular Fuzzy Numbers (TFN). One of the most important conclusions reached by the researcher is that the data adopted from the four factors and the results of the analysis are that the output in these coefficients is fuzzy and unstable, and that the application of fuzzy logic is an effective way to get rid of the uncertainty.

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

Given the swift digital changes occurring in the Banking industry, the purpose of this paper is to examine how well artificial intelligence systems can forecast and protect against future disasters.  By utilizing its skills in big data analytics, forecasting financial behavior, and more accurately and effectively managing risks, artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly regarded as a crucial component in the development of banking systems and improving their operational efficiency.

 By enhancing client satisfaction, tailoring banking services to meet the demands of each individual, and cutting down on operational errors and administrative expenses, banks hope to gain a competitive edge by utilizing these technologies.  AI also helps to speed up credit decisions, make it possible to identify financial crime early, and create clever marketing plans based on forecasts of future market trends.

In order to ensure financial sustainability and achieve integration between digital transformation and the demands of banking innovation, studies show that the future of AI encompasses strategic, cultural, human, technological, and organizational dimensions in addition to technical ones.

 The paper also examined a number of anticipated long-term effects of AI applications, such as increased forecasting precision, lower operating expenses, better customer satisfaction, increased worker productivity, and assistance with investment choices.  The findings show that implementing AI applications in the banking sector is a strategic requirement to guarantee long-term growth and competitiveness in the digital era, not a technical luxury.

In order to enhance lending decisions and lower default risks, the paper also assesses how well a number of categorization algorithms work in assessing loan applicants' creditworthiness.  Using a dataset that represented the traits and financial activities of clients, seven machine learning techniques were used: Gradient Boosting, Random Forest, Extra Trees, Gaussian Naive Bayes, Logistic Regression, SVC-RBF, and KNN.

The paper used a database of 21 variables for loan applicants. Numerical variables included (age, income, credit score, debt-to-income ratio, and loan amount). Descriptive variables included (loan purpose, region, marital status, employer, educational level, and application channel). Binary variables included (whether or not the applicant had a history of default). These variables were used to predict the approval or rejection decision, with the dependent variable being represented by two values: 0 for rejection and 1 for approval.

The models were evaluated using the following six key performance indicators: Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1 Score, Receiver Operating Characteristic Area Under the Curve (ROC AUC), and Brier Score.   The findings demonstrated that the Gradient Boosting algorithm performed best overall in both probability prediction quality and customer differentiation across different risk levels.  The Random Forest algorithm, which showed stability and balanced metrics, came next.  On the other hand, despite its moderate performance, Logistic Regression provided great interpretability, while the Gaussian Naive Bayes algorithm demonstrated high sensitivity in identifying high-risk customers.  In terms of overall accuracy and probability quality, some models—like SVC-RBF and KNN—performed worse.

Abstract

The Iraqi economy has known the phenomenon of foreign currency substitution since the eighties, with the increasing deterioration of the value of the Iraqi dinar and the appearance of signs of rapid inflation. Its actual expansion began with the phase of imposing the economic blockade in the nineties. Despite the decline in inflation rates following the phase of the economic blockade, the political, economic, and security turmoil After 2004, it was negatively affected by high inflation rates, especially during the period (2004-2007), which was reflected in the use of the US dollar as a tool to measure future payments, then a store of value, and then a medium of exchange in transactions that take place locally. Our study attempts to identify the phenomenon of foreign currency substitution in all its meanings and its relationship to inflation. Verifying the phenomenon of foreign currency substitution and determining its reality in the Iraqi economy during the period (2004-2022) In order to achieve the goal, the study adopted the inductive approach in analyzing the phenomenon under study, used the descriptive analysis method, and chose the correlation model to analyze the data and reach the results. After following the International Monetary Fund index in measuring foreign currency substitution represented by dividing deposits in foreign currency by the broad money supply, the study concluded There is a direct relationship between the inflation rate and the rate of foreign currency replacement in the Iraqi economy, with a strong direct correlation rate of (0.70) Therefore, the phenomenon of foreign currency substitution must be taken into consideration and the necessary measures taken to reduce it, especially through policies to stabilize inflation rates at low levels and search for another way to price crude oil instead of the US dollar, and let it be a basket of foreign currencies in order to reduce the linkage of the Iraqi economy to the dollar

Foreign trade is one of the basic sectors of any country's economy. It is of great importance in developing economic relations between countries worldwide, especially developed and developing countries, through the import and export of goods and services, both visible and invisible, and the movement of capital and gold trading. Foreign trade activities are usually carried out through the mechanism of linking the exchange rate of the local currency to foreign currencies. The importance of this study lies in highlighting the fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar against a basket of foreign currencies, especially the US dollar. These fluctuations directly affect the economy in general and the costs of importing goods and services in particular. This study aims to measure and analyze the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on Iraqi imports for the period 2004–2023. To achieve the study objective, the study relied on time series data and used the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model to analyze the relationship between the dependent and explanatory variables in the long and short term. The study found a statistically significant positive relationship at the 5% level between the exchange rate and imports in the long term, which means that the rise in exchange rates in Iraq led to an increase in the volume of imports during the study period. based on these results, the study recommends the need to create a stable economic environment for the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar against foreign currencies, especially the US dollar, in addition to strengthening the role of the Central Bank of Iraq in controlling the official and parallel exchange rates to limit their negative impact on the increase in consumer imports.

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.
