The Role of Strategic Sense in Reducing Organisational Decline: Case Study of the Najaf Cement Factory
This study examines strategic sense and its role in reducing the occurrence of organisational decline for a sample of 102 workers in Najaf Cement Factory. The study is based on the basic assumption that strategic sense prevents organisational decline, and that this decline will occur in the absence of a healthy environment by the management of the laboratory using strategic sense. The scientific significance of the study stems from the fact that the results will help provide an understanding of organisational trends and behaviours by looking at the dimensions of strategic sense and linking them to the dimensions of organisational decline and reduction. A questionnaire was used as the main data-collection tool. A number of statistical methods were used to validate the study hypotheses, such as arithmetic mean, standard deviation, simple correlation coefficient and regression analysis. The results of the study supported most of its hypotheses. Achieving success in the work of the researched laboratory requires the dimensions of strategic sense to be discovered and reflected on with regard to the treatment of indicators of organisational decline, in order to ensure the provision of industrial services acceptable to the beneficiary.
