Abstract
The current study aims primarily to demonstrate the impact of entrepreneurial vigilance and strategic capabilities on the decision-making, to determine the level of awareness of the study sample of the dimensions of entrepreneurial vigilance represented by (scanning and research, cooperation and communication, and evaluation and judgment), to determine the level of availability of the dimensions of strategic capabilities from the point of view of the research sample at the College of Kut Private University, and to demonstrate the relationships of correlation and influence between the research variables in the college and the research community. The College of Kut Private University was chosen as a community for the current study. A stratified random sample of individuals working in the college was selected. The descriptive analytical approach was adopted in the current research. The SPSS program was adopted to analyze the data, and the questionnaire was adopted as a tool for collecting the data from the study community. The study concluded that the entrepreneurial vigilance is one of the basic requirements for achieving the decision-making effectiveness by searching for the best alternative via exploiting the cases of uncertainty. The college uses entrepreneurial vigilance to bring about changes and renewal by generating creative ideas. The university's senior management has a little interest in the training courses, which is a bad indicator and indicates the weakness, the development and improvement of capabilities, and the capacities of human, administrative, and technical resources through the training courses. In addition to the clear weakness in the field of employment of women in administrative leadership at the Kut University College, the researchers can explain this due to the prevailing social customs and traditions of the society that find that working in the field of industrial business is more suitable for men than women. Finally, the researchers recommend that the cooperation and the communication dimension achieve the highest level of importance in the dimensions of entrepreneurial vigilance and occupy the first place. This is due to the high level of importance of its paragraphs and the study sample's awareness of the college administration's interest in linking information together to obtain useful facts, in addition to benefiting from the available information. After the survey and research, it achieved a very high level of importance from entrepreneurial vigilance, indicating that there is a continuous interaction from the other parties to obtain new information, in addition to the continuous construction of new ideas when searching for information. After the evaluation and judgment dimension, within the dimensions of entrepreneurial vigilance, it conducted a high level of importance, indicating a good ability to predict and distinguish between profitable opportunities.
