The Role of Strategic Management in Enhancing Institutional Performance Under Administrative Governance Requirements: A Comparative Study

Abstract

This study examines the subject of strategic management and its role in enhancing institutional performance within the framework of administrative governance requirements, through a comparative study between Iraqi and Egyptian legislation. The study proceeds from the premise that the success of public institutions in fulfilling their functions cannot be achieved by relying solely on traditional administrative tools; rather, it necessitates the adoption of a well-defined strategic approach that balances long-term objectives with available resources, alongside adherence to the principles of administrative governance—namely transparency, accountability, and participation. The study adopted a comparative descriptive-analytical approach to trace the constitutional and legislative foundations of both systems, highlighting points of convergence and divergence, while examining the emerging role of information technology and artificial intelligence in advancing governance and strategic management tools. The study concluded with a set of findings and recommendations aimed at contributing to the development of the regulatory legal framework governing the operation of public institutions in both countries.
