The Role of Management Information System Requirements In Enhancing Knowledge Management Processes: An exploratory study of the opinions of a sample of workers at Dohuk polyTechnical University

The importance of Management Information Systems (MIS) lies in their ability to provide clear and accurate information that supports the development of effective strategic directions within universities. MIS plays a crucial role in enabling continuous development in higher education by aligning with the rapid growth of technology. This alignment is essential for entering a new phase of capacity building and for establishing the foundational elements necessary to ensure high-quality systems and outputs. Ultimately, this contributes to achieving institutional goals and enhancing knowledge management.Knowledge management, in particular, is a key area that has attracted significant interest from researchers, who have studied it from various perspectives to enrich the field and improve its application across universities. It aligns closely with the goals of digital transformation, which is the chosen focus area for Duhok Polytechnic University .In this context, a set of hypotheses was formulated based on the research framework. Data was collected through a specially designed questionnaire, and statistical tests were conducted using the SPSS software. The study produced several important findings most notably that the quality of knowledge improves when it is continuously stored and updated. Based on these findings, several recommendations were proposed, the most important being the need for Duhok Polytechnic University to establish a clear vision for implementing effective knowledge management strategies.
