The Impact of Strategic Knowledge Recycling on Crossing the Valley of Death

Abstract

The aim of the research was to diagnose the extent to which strategic knowledge recycling, in all its dimensions, influences crossing the Valley of Death within Zain Iraq Telecommunications Company. The study also sought to bridge this knowledge gap by relying on advanced statistical tools and identifying the pathways that enable the company to successfully overcome the Valley of Death..

The study adopted a descriptive-analytical methodology to describe and analyze the research variables, based on primary data collected through a field study conducted at the Basra branch of Zain Iraq Telecommunications. The data were gathered using a questionnaire designed by the researcher after reviewing relevant literature and previous studies. To test the hypotheses, the researcher entered the primary data into a database and analyzed it using SPSS software (version 26). Cronbach’s Alpha was calculated to measure the reliability of the scale, and Spearman’s Rank correlation coefficient was used to assess the relationships among the study variables. The researcher also applied a set of statistical techniques to ensure the validity of the variables and the adequacy of the sample size, aiming for a broader and deeper understanding of the extent to which each dimension of the independent variable influences the dependent variable.

The research results, based on statistical analysis, showed that strategic knowledge recycling as a whole has a positive and significant impact on Crossing the Valley of Death. The correlation coefficient reached a value of 0.785 with a significance level of 0.000 < 0.01, confirming that strategic knowledge recycling strategies directly and effectively contribute to the company’s success and crisis navigation. Furthermore, the results of the Kruskal-Wallis test indicated significant differences among the knowledge recycling groups concerning the Valley of Death variable, with a Chi-square value of 49.937 and a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05. The higher mean rank of the fourth group suggests that a higher level of knowledge recycling enhances the company's ability to Crossing the Valley of Death.
