Abstract: This study introduces theoretical ideas and practical experience of Hamilton’s studies related to organizational DNA and innovation performance. Taking into consideration the limitation of theoretical frameworks and need to prove them, the study attempts to develop the means by which different types of organizations can compete and attain desired objectives according to Hamilton’s point of view. Two fundamental questions arise here .First, how well or bad the four orgDNA building blocks are aligned in Iraqi industrial organizations (organizational stereotypes)?.Second, to which extent the alignment of orgDNA building blocks can influence innovation performance?. Three Iraqi industrial enterprises were chosen to investigate this problem. A questionnaire with 49 questions was designed and distributed among 27 managers to collect required data. Testing of hypotheses was performed by mean, standard deviation, correlation coefficients, t-distribution, and Kruskal-Wallis test. The results of the study indicated that organizational DNA four blocks had a positively significant relationship with innovation performance.Finally, the study concludes with many recommendations that should explore how to create the necessary conditions for organizations in emerging economics to innovate and create knowledge.
Abstract: This study aims at examining the possibility of using futurecontracts in order to apply them in the local status. Thisemphasizes the value of the study through out the adoption ofadvanced financial systems. In the field of Iraqi financialbanking, which completely lacks such systems, according to thispoint, it is possible to support the theoretical and field aspects ofthese modern strategies and to direct the interest of researchersand people interested in the financial field to participating largelyin developing the banking aspect through the adoption offinancial tools which are largely used in the developing countrieswhere there are efficient financial markets.At this point, it is possible to deal with the problem on whichthe present study is based and attaining the aim of study, inaddition to the use of speculation strategy analysis and to achieveprofits.
