The Impact of Strategic Readiness in Strategic Ambiguity An Analytical Study of The Al-Joud Factory of The Holy Abbasid Shrine in Karbala Governorate

The study sought to test the impact of strategic readiness with its dimensions (leadership, culture, organizational structure, technology, human resources) as an independent variable in reducing strategic ambiguity with its dimensions (ambiguity of goal, ambiguity of authority, ambiguity of technology) as a dependent variable. The study problem was defined by several questions, the most prominent of which is: Is there a correlation and influence relationship between strategic readiness and strategic ambiguity? The study was applied to the Al-Joud Factory for the Al-Abbas's Holy Shrine in Karbala, by adopting a deliberate sample of administrators and technicians amounting to (179) individuals. The study concluded that there is an inverse effect of the strategic readiness variable on strategic ambiguity in the field at the factory level, and concluded with several recommendations, the most important of which is the need to invest in the positive effect of strategic readiness and the factory’s capabilities in providing its requirements to reduce the level of strategic ambiguity.
