As this paper examines the relationship between Islamic values and entrepreneurial activity, it seeks to establish whether these values can be more effectively tapped into to raise the profile of Islamic form of entrepreneurship. A written, self-administered questionnaire among a random sample of Saudi entrepreneurs in the city of Riyadh was employed to generate descriptive data to assess the views and attitudes of Saudi entrepreneurs toward both conventional and Islamic forms of entrepreneurship. We find that Saudi entrepreneurs perceive themselves to be committed Muslims who consider entrepreneurship a religious and economic duty intended to generate halal (lawful) income to meet their financial obligations and to contribute to the falah (well-being) of the Muslim ummah (nation) in this life and hereafter. The findings also negate the prevalent conventional assumption that Islam is intrinsically anti-modernization and anti-development, and that the religiously-based Saudi culture would hinder the emergence and the development of a vibrant entrepreneurship culture in Saudi Arabia.

<span lang="EN-GB">Chatbots have gained increasing importance in today research with a lot of available applications. They are flexible and can be applied in many application domains.  In tourism, Chatbots can recommend sights, hotels, activities, or even full travel plans. Usually, users are required to visit plenty of websites and install different Apps into their mobile phones in order to navigate the city and planning for the trip which is inconvenient and time-consuming. To address this issue, this paper proposes “Smart Guidance”, an AI text-based chatbot that is developed as a mobile application. It simulates a chat with users in a natural language, it also provides a two-way interaction and it is a single point of contact for all user communications. We provide a use case in the city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Jeddah is the second largest city in Saudi Arabia and tourists have various choices when it comes to moving around the city. The final evaluation of the chatbot showed that the bot could understand meanings and users’ requests. Moreover, users found that the interaction is effective, and the responses are provided immediately. Users were satisfied and like the idea that they could express their needs in their natural language. Furthermore, users enjoyed the interaction and felt engaged.</span>

The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between knowledge management practices and innovation levels in organizations.  Through a questionnaire, required data were gathered in sub-companies of three corporations in the city of Esfahan. Seventy-four questionnaires were given to top and middle managers of these companies and 36 were returned (49.65% response rate). Correlation analysis was used to check the relationship between the variables.  The researchers found a strong, positive and significant relationship between knowledge management practices and innovation levels in these companies.  The result is related to a small number of companies in Esfahan. It is not easy to generalize the result of the current study to other contexts.  Knowledge management is one of the hottest issues among academicians, but it is still difficult to justify managers about its importance in organizations. This study tries to provide some empirical evidence in order to support the role of knowledge management in enhancing innovation.  There is not sufficient empirical evidence to prove the role of knowledge management practices in the search of innovation.
