This study investigated the impact of information technology (IT) Infrastructure on Innovation performance as a critical issue in the Iraqi private Universities. The proposed design approach asked participants to respond to a self-reported questionnaire, five information technologies as the independent variable, and subjective measures of Innovation performance as the dependent variable. Factor analysis was performed to identify the banks’ IT Infrastructure with Innovation performance to tested. The study population consisted of six private Universities in Iraq. From these, 75 academics of the faculty were chosen. The hypothesis to test variables of the study was absorbed in a questionnaire with Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 75% and was prepared based on a number of measures related to the subject of study. Ranges of methods were used to analysis statistical data, and the results were extracted using SPSS. The regression analysis results indicated a positive and statistically significant association between IT Infrastructure and innovation performance. Based on this, we recommend the academics in the universities to use IT as a strategic tool to enhance innovation performance and expand their empirical knowledge in the context of private universities in Iraq.

Introduction

Information technology (IT) is one of the basic components of innovation performance. Given that technology is one of the strategic factors that can help improve business productivity and performance (Yang et al., 2007), IT can be useful in augmenting the performance of a firm and its human resources. According to O’Brien and Marakas (2008), IT is the development and management of hardware, software, networking, database, and other technologies. Karadag and Dumanogl (2009) Many studies have been conducted to validate the impact of IT on productivity and performance quality. Bharadwaj et al. (1999) information technology refers to a firm’s ability to mobilize and deploy IT-based resources and capabilities within a firm. Innovation performance refers is the result of the following business factors: work processes, team, communication, interaction, corporate culture, policies, leadership, climate for innovation and creativity, loyalty, economic and business environment (Lia, et al., 2006). However, (Verma and Seth, 2011) Competitive priorities, including increased customer expectations, intense competition in a world-wide scale, time and quality requirements as well as mass customization, have forced organizations to dramatically change over the years.
