The important changes taking place in our world today pose many challenges and opportunities. The information revolution, electronic communications, and the globalization of services bring about an increase in international competition at various levels. The importance of knowledge in the economy is also increasing, until it has become the characteristic of the twenty-first century, the characteristic of the knowledge-based economy. (Knowledge-Based) as knowledge enters as a more basic element than the development of all production and service sectors, as it has become the most important factor in the process of economic growth, unlike classical new theories, which believed that the competitive process in the presence of traditional factors (work and capital) Money (underlies all the motives for progress. This trend in the economy, which is based on the production of goods and services based on material to goods and services based on knowledge, leads to a change in production and marketing processes.
The research is based on the hypothesis that (the shift towards a knowledge-based economy will contribute to creating opportunities for economic growth that are relatively unlimited).

In recent years, higher education in Iraq has faced a number of challenges, most notably the severe shortage of material supplies, including equipment, laboratories, books, and scientific references, due to the economic blockade that Iraq has been subjected to since August 1990, in addition to the migration of Iraqi talents abroad as a result of the low standard of living for university professors. . The admission policy adopted by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in accepting all graduates of preparatory studies in Iraqi universities and the Technical Education Authority, regardless of the absorptive capacity of those universities and institutes, also constituted another challenge that had negative effects on the level of quality of university performance in Iraqi higher education institutions. In addition to this, there are rapid scientific and technical developments that have occurred in the world and the inability of these institutions to keep pace with them due to the scientific and technological blockade, which has created a gap between the quality of university performance of these institutions and their counterparts from Arab and foreign universities, which requires measuring this gap by relying on comprehensive quality standards.

Human resources are an effective element in achieving the best performance and their prominent role in enhancing the competitive capabilities of various organizations, which requires constant research to increase the effectiveness of these resources in achieving permanent excellence in performance. Therefore, the research aims to identify and analyze the dimensions of the competitive advantage of human resources in the light industries company and diagnose the variables that determine each After analyzing the relationships between them, the research covered four paragraphs. The first was devoted to the research methodology, indicating the problem, objectives, hypotheses, and analysis tools. The second paragraph focused on the theoretical aspect, using the reasons related to the research topic. The third paragraph included an analysis of the practical aspect using statistical tools, and the fourth paragraph reached a set of conclusions and recommendations.

The research aims to study the relationship between the dimensions of technology and the dimensions of both technical and administrative creativity for a sample of employees of the Modern Paints Company. The research problem is based on a lack of outlook towards the dimensions of technology and its impact on creativity. The two research hypotheses are embodied in the following:
There is no relationship between the dimensions of their convergence - the degree of change in the work and the degree of difficulty of the work and each of the dimensions of administrative and technical creativity. The dimensions of technology (the degree of change in the work and the degree of difficulty of the work - do not affect each of the dimensions of administrative and technical creativity)
The researchers reached a number of conclusions related to the topic and appropriate recommendations were made regarding them.

The industrial revolution in the nineteenth century changed the form of management in thought and practice to pursue the rapid and successive transformations in machines and equipment of an unprecedented style that that revolution generated, until the change in the parameters of management became a moving target whose stability and subject matter were difficult to predict, which generated fundamental revolutions in the concepts of management and performance and the transformation into... Leadership, distinction and excellence, from professional control to customer sovereignty, from quality control to performance management, from increasing the quantity of outputs to improving quality and accountability for the final results, regardless of the paths leading to these results, and transparency instead of the dark walls in front of the organization’s work and activities, until the middle of the last century came. Which gave birth to a new revolution called the information and technology revolution, which made change an established reality. New concepts began to crystallize, taking their roots from that revolution, such as e-government, e-administration, e-decision, digital and virtual organization and other concepts (Edisonetal, 2002:16) in order to achieve the desired goals of stability and growth and enhance the ability to create new competitive advantages.

The success and progress of organizations today is achieved through the ability to use resources in a way that fulfills the desires and needs of customers, and the requirements of the market in the first place, which was mainly reflected in the construction of their strategies, and the acceleration of changes in business environments has required organizations to follow modern strategies based on a clear vision and in a way that affects the performance of operations. For industrial organizations. This study sought to determine the relationship between strategic vision as an independent variable and operations performance as a dependent variable through its indicators (cost, quality, flexibility, and delivery).
