The Iraqi Ministry of Electricity was selected as a community to conduct the research, in a sample size of (136) workers in the upper and middle departments. The research has tried to answer several questions, including: What is the relationship of strategic flexibility to the strategic shortcomings in the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity?
