The current study sought to test the level of contribution of each of the strategic renewal with its dimensions represented by (exploring opportunities, forming new ideas, and investing opportunities) in achieving organizational survival with its dimensions represented by (the ability to adapt, maintaining high-performance standards, achieving job performance goals), as it adopted strategic renewal in its theoretical framework as an independent variable. In contrast, organizational survival came as a dependent variable.

The questionnaire form was used as a primary tool for collecting data and information by selecting a deliberate sample represented by the instructors and heads of departments in private colleges with a total of (30), and the descriptive analytical approach was relied upon in presenting and analyzing the study information. In order to process the data, the researcher used a number of statistical methods, namely the weighted arithmetic mean, response intensity, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, simple correlation coefficient (Pearson), and simple and multiple regression coefficients.

One of the most prominent conclusions reached by the study is that the colleges in the study sample seek to enhance their interest in exploring new opportunities and entrepreneurship to invest in these opportunities in addition to adopting a distinct structural design that depends on clear organizational procedures and the smooth flow of information within the leadership's participation in exchanging information to achieve organizational survival.
