In the era of information technology, knowledge management became urgent need for raising the competitive advantage level. Universities considered as knowledge intensive base organizations. The knowledge are embedded in the academicians minds are sharing within students throughout various teaching activities. A valuable amount of knowledge that accumulated from academicians need to collected for sharing among the academicians community. The successful knowledge management processes of academician experiences lead to enhance the teaching activities. The learning process enhance by assisting academician to learn from each other and product high quality teaching activities. Most of academician’s knowledge is faded due to the absence of standard system that could collect and share the teaching experiences. This research proposed knowledge management conceptual model that can enhance the knowledge processes of acquiring, storing, sharing, and reusing teaching experiences. Data collected by interviewing academicians from Iraq universities and obtaining the required data. The findings deployed to develop knowledge management model that could work efficiently and affectivity to enhance the teaching activities in Iraq University.

<p>The electronic government (e-government) worldwide is slowly progressing. The e-government progress in developing countries, such as Iraq, is slower compared with those of regional countries. Prior research suggested deploying cloud based E-government (CBEG). However, most studies are either review or conceptual. This study aims to examine the CBEG in Iraq and identify the criteria that are required for utilizing this technology. A total of 279 academic staff working in the IT department in Iraqi universities have participated in this study. The findings using matrix and the algorithm of partial least square presented ten criteria. After using the average variance extracted technique, the criteria reduced to seven. Further analysis using smart partial least square was conducted, and this resulted in five important criteria namely, reliability of the service followed by availability, security, trust, and technological competence. Decision makers have to increase the competence of the staff and enhance the CBEG services.</p>

Cloud computing (CC) is a trendy technology that is being used in business and daily life. However, limited studies is found on higher education usage. The barriers and obstacles that confront the usage is not clear and in particular in developing countries. The purpose of this study is to examine the barriers and obstacle that confront the usage CC services in Barash University in Iraq. Using the technology organization environment framework and the internal external factor (IE-TOE), the study proposed the conceptual framework. The data was collected from academic, non-academic staff and students using convivence sampling technique. The data was analyzed using Smart PLS. The findings showed that organizational obstacle followed by technological, internal and external factors, and environmental factors are the most severe obstacles that confront the university in using CC services. Decision makers can benefit from the developed model to ease the implementation of CC

Cloud computing has been adopted in many developing nations, namely Iraq and Ghana, for its multiple benefits. Nonetheless, there is a dearth of studies on cloud computing adoption in developing nations. This study aims to investigate the factors influencing cloud computing adoption among Iraqi small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and the implication of cloud computing on the SME firm performance. The diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory served as the foundation for the research model. Primary data from 396 SMEs were analysed using the structural equation modelling (SEM) approach through SmartPls 3.0 software for model testing. Resultantly, the use of cloud computing enhances firm performance. The technological factor also positively affects firm performance and cloud computing. The findings provide cloud service providers, managers, and government regulators with important recommendations to encourage the adoption and effective implementation of cloud computing in Iraq.

<span lang="EN-US">The concept of knowledge management (KM) and organizational learning (OL) has been embraced by organizations to complement each other. Higher education institutions have embraced KM and OL as a means to improve organizational efficiency. This research explores the link between KM and OL. The target population included all the 432 academicians and administrators from 35 public universities in Iraq. The sampling was selected using a stratified random sampling technique. The correlation among the components of KM and OL was tested as well as the effect of KM components on OL. The findings were derived using smart partial least square. The findings showed that there is significant correlation between components of KM and components of OL. The regression analysis showed also that the effect of KM and its components; knowledge creation, knowledge sharing, knowledge storage, knowledge application and knowledge acquisition on OL are significant. These findings provide insights to universities management on strategies to implement KM practices that can align with OL practices to assure dynamic lifelong mechanisms for the basic daily activities such as teaching, learning, researching, and supervision.</span>
