To achieve this, a questionnaire was developed to collect data, distributed to a random sample of (100) employees. For the purpose of descriptive analysis of the data, the (SPSS) program was used, and to test the hypotheses, structural modeling was relied upon using the SmartPLS4 program. The study found that there is a statistically significant effect at the significance level (0.05 ≥ α) to determine the strategic orientation with its combined dimensions in exploiting and investing in core capabilities, and that the dimensions of the strategic orientation explain (62.30%) of the dependent variable represented in exploiting and investing in core capabilities. Based on the above, the researcher presented a set of recommendations.</p> 2025-03-28T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 International journal of economic perspectives https://ijeponline.com/index.php/journal/article/view/1003 The contribution of energy consumption reduction to achieving energy security in Algeria: A case study of Sonelgaz in Boumerdes Province 2025-03-28T00:48:59+00:00 Habiba Zanane [email protected] <p>This study aims to explore methods for reducing energy consumption to achieve energy security in Algeria by decreasing the use of non-renewable energy sources and shifting towards renewable energy, as it is inexhaustible. The research examines the contribution of energy consumption reduction to energy security at Sonelgaz in Blida Province. The study sample included 40 employees, and the findings indicate that the company relies primarily on renewable energy, particularly solar energy, which is abundantly available in Algeria. The study suggests that instead of solely focusing on reducing energy consumption, the company should adopt alternative strategies, such as increasing the use of renewable energy sources, to enhance energy production.</p> 2025-03-28T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 International journal of economic perspectives
