Learning organizations promote education by capitalizing on their 'strategic alignment'. However, an organizational strategy is a critical problem since it influences organizational efficiency and performance. This study aims to evaluate the strategic alignment dimensions' impact on the organization's learning practices. This research is quantitative, descriptive and explanatory. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) method was used to assess the research variables. The case under study is the Wasit University faculty giving access to a sample of 450 participants. A questionnaire was used to collect the data. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS V.25 and Amos.V.23 statistical programs. Research hypotheses were accepted and confirmed the statistical significance (p < 5%) of the influence of the strategic alignment dimensions which include telecommunication, organizational value, governance, partnership and workforce skills on the learning organization practices at Wasit University. The constructs retained in the strategic alignment dimensions of organizational learning indicated the availability of telecommunication, organizational value, governance, partnership and faculty skills. Universities should increase their interest in and investment in the mechanisms of organizational learning to facilitate the process of obtaining knowledge. It is essential to involve instructors and consider their views and capabilities when making strategic decisions.

There is increased interest in relocation to and from highcost environments, but there remains a lack of knowledge with regard to operations capabilities in this specific context. The purpose of this study is thus to investigate critical operations capabilities in a high-cost environment. The research process is based on the investigation of an existing framework of operations capabilities through a multiple case study including five Swedish manufacturing companies. The findings reveal that all the dimensions and capabilities included in the framework were considered critical, and additional operations capabilities could be identified: service quality, supplier dependability, supplier flexibility, supply chain innovation, supply chain sustainability. The investigation underlines the dynamic nature of operations capabilities, which need to be updated constantly according to the environment in which they are developed. This study contributes on a practical level to managers by creating an overview of operations capabilities in a high-cost environment. Through the investigation of critical operations capabilities, it is possible for managers to find new areas of competitiveness, as well as to understand their current areas of excellence. The study makes several contributions, such as the identification of operations capabilities, their investigation and validation in a specific environment.
