The Impact of Contextual Intelligence on Strategic Entrepreneurship

An Analytical Study of a Sample of Private Banks in Baghdad

Abstract

                The research aims to test the relationships of the impact of contextual intelligence in its dimensions (linking to past events, future foresight, and penetrating insight) on Strategic Entrepreneurship in its dimensions (continuous innovation, risk taking, proactive behavior, ability to generate value, and opportunity mentality) in a sample of private banks in Baghdad that included (9) banks. The field research problem was represented by the following question (What is the level of impact of contextual intelligence on Strategic Entrepreneurship in the banks studied?). The researchers adopted the descriptive analytical approach, and by adopting a main hypothesis from which five sub-hypotheses emerged to explore the relationships of influence between the variables and their dimensions. The research sample included (140) individuals, including (Managing Director, Assistant Director, Department Manager). The sample was selected from the research community consisting of (230) managers. The questionnaire was used as a primary tool to collect data prepared by the researcher based on ready-made scales. To extract the results, a set of statistical methods were used, including (arithmetic mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, relative importance, Pearson correlation coefficient, simple and multiple linear regression, indirect effect analysis, T-test, F-test). The data were analyzed using statistical programs (SPSS V.28) and (AMOS V.25) and (Excel V.2010) to enter the data. One of the most prominent results reached is the existence of a statistically significant influence relationship between contextual intelligence in its combined dimensions and Strategic Entrepreneurship in its dimensions.
