Ahmed Abdel Qader Ismail Alnajem

This study aims to investigate the connection between organizational culture and strategy formulation in several private colleges in Iraq, as organizational culture is a major factor in the success or failure of organizations, and it is a crucial element in organizational transformulation and growth, which is a characteristic of the modern age. This research seeks to explore the significance of organizational culture by looking at its resurgence, its cultural makeup, and the dimensions of strategy formulation in universities and private colleges. It will then examine the connection between organizational culture and strategy formulation among the study sample. The hypothesis is that there is no meaningful relationship between organizational culture and strategy formulation. The research sample of (100) lecturers from (10) private universities and colleges was surveyed using a questionnaire to assess the interest in organizational culture in the educational community. The results revealed that there is a relative interest in the culture, but it is not given an important role in formulating the strategy. It was suggested that mental and intellectual abilities and experiences should be harnessed through dialogue and direct training to transform them into a powerful tool for formulating educational strategy.
