A technical master’s thesis in Business Administration Technologies was discussed at the Administrative Technical College / Mosul, Northern Technical University, by the student Shahad Waad Allah Talee. The thesis was entitled:
“The Impact of Strategic Renewal on Improving Organizational Performance: A Diagnostic Analytical Study of the Opinions of a Sample of Administrative Leaders at Northern Technical University and Its Formations.”
The discussion was held on Monday morning, September 7, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. in Al-Hikma Hall at the college.
The study aimed to identify the extent to which the dimensions of strategic renewal and organizational performance are available at Northern Technical University and its formations, in addition to examining the correlation and impact relationships between the two variables. Strategic renewal was addressed through the dimensions of exploratory renewal and exploitative renewal, while organizational performance was examined through the dimensions of financial performance, customer satisfaction, internal processes, and learning and growth.
The study adopted a descriptive-analytical approach and selected Northern Technical University and its formations as the field of application. Data were collected from a purposive sample of administrative leaders, including assistant deans, heads of academic departments, and department directors at the university presidency.
The study population consisted of 170 respondents, and 160 questionnaires were distributed, of which 152 valid questionnaires were returned and used for statistical analysis. The data were analyzed and the study hypotheses were tested using SPSS V26 and SmartPLS 3.
The findings revealed a positive and statistically significant correlation and impact between strategic renewal and organizational performance at both the overall and dimensional levels within the study field. This confirms the effective role of strategic renewal and its dimensions in improving organizational performance and strengthening the university’s ability to develop and respond to environmental changes.
The study recommended strengthening investment in the interrelationship between strategic renewal and organizational performance among the leadership of Northern Technical University and its formations. Such efforts would contribute to enhancing the university’s distinctiveness, strengthening its institutional excellence, and improving its ability to respond effectively to competitive changes.
