Abstract

The research aims to explore the extent of the impact of the interaction of (the contemporary environment and technological innovation) on the level of efficiency of supply management in the electric power production company in Basra Governorate. To achieve the purpose of this paper, The methodology was by the contents of the descriptive approach, where the theoretical presentation and discussion of the research topic were carried out. The population of the research was the Electric Power Production Company in Basra Governorate. The questionnaire was used as a surevy instrument to collect data from on service employees in the company. The SPSS used to assess the statistics of the data. It became clear from the analysis and discussion that technological innovation significantly enhances the efficiency of logistics management of the Iraqi Energy Production Company in the contemporary environment. Technological innovation was measured to fill the past studies gap to enhance the efficiency of logistics chain management, because we rarely find in Arab and foreign studies that have dealt with three variables, and this paper provides added scientific value to researchers in the field Electrical energy in Iraq, and the economic value of the company.
