The Impact of Government Strategic Integration on the Effectiveness of Sustainable Strategies: An Analytical Study of the Opinions of a Sample of Leaders from the University of Mosul
Abstract
Redundancies can interfere with reaching important objectives. It is essential to have organizational plans that are combined and used in a sustainable way. This study was carried out using both numbers and opinions to examine how government strategy affects the success of sustainable practices. In the number-based part, the views of leaders from the University of Mosul were collected. The target group for this part included managers at the University of Mosul, and after extensive outreach, ten people agreed to take part in interviews. Following the interview analysis, a survey was created and sent out to all university staff, resulting in 100 completed surveys. Four key elements were found: 1. Coordination, which includes appointments, announcements, instructions, and communication; 2. Economic, which covers communication speed, budget matters, removing obstacles, and lobbying efforts; 3. Support, which involves long-term strategies, customs, rules, and tackling basic issues; and 4. Legal, which includes keeping promises, proper interactions, parliamentary collaboration, and strategic involvement.
