This research aims to develop an entrepreneurship ecosystem model within a university, utilizing a knowledge-oriented approach. The role of universities in ensuring the success of knowledge and entrepreneurship goes beyond knowledge transfer. Ultimately, they contribute to the creation of a knowledge-based entrepreneurship ecosystem.Therefore, experts' opinions were used to identify the indicators, components, and dimensions of the entrepreneurship ecosystem of Azad University. This was done by examining the existing theoretical foundations and utilizing the theme analysis method of Brown and Clark in the ATLAS TI software. In this regard, interviews were conducted with 20 experts from the university's entrepreneurship ecosystem until theoretical saturation was reached. The text of the interviews was then analyzed using coding. According to the systematic model, eight main categories were identified. These clusters include "structural factors (structure and government)", "entrepreneurial fields (environmental factors, management factors)", "entrepreneurial consequences (development and transfer of entrepreneurship, technological entrepreneurship)", "educational and cultural factors (educational factors, cultural factors, scientific and technological factors)", and "policymaking and planning (government policymaking, leadership policymaking)". Knowledge-based entrepreneurship is faced with a complex set of components that create its knowledge-oriented ecosystem. So that each dimension of this sphere is integrated into both the internal components of the university and the higher education system, as well as the external components and subsystems of society.

This paper explores the intricate mechanisms underlying knowledge transfer in Electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) campaigns and their far-reaching implications for brand equity in the digital era. The aim is to interpret how eWOM channels facilitate the strategies that can optimize knowledge transfer in eWOM campaigns to the benefit of brand equity. Through an extensive review of the existing literature and expert interview analysis, 187 codes were identified. Using 410 Likert questionnaires, the quantitative method was employed to test the proposed model. Exploratory factor analysis and PCA (Principal Component Analysis) method were used by SPSS software. By AMOS software, first and second-order confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to ensure a consistent factor structure between the items and structures. CR criterion was used to assess reliability. The AVE, GOF, TLI, CFI, NFI, and RFI indices were also used to evaluate the model. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of knowledge transfer in eWOM campaigns is essential for brand managers and marketers seeking to bolster brand equity in the digital landscape. Leveraging these mechanisms effectively can enhance brand reputation, customer loyalty, and overall business success. This research emphasizes the critical importance of eWOM strategies as a key driver of brand equity in the contemporary marketing landscape.

The use of IoT in intelligent agriculture is now very common among farmers, and with the use of drones and sensors, advanced agriculture is rapidly becoming a growing global standard. The use of IoT requires infrastructure that is defined within an IoT governance framework. This paper proposes new approaches to knowledge management, Artificial Intelligence, and IoT governance and their impact on productivity in the agriculture sector by hiring specialized people who are called AI-aided Agriculture Knowledge Managers.Given the importance of all three topics, knowledge management, IoT, and agriculture, we have tried to show the impact of the presence of AI-aided Agriculture Knowledge Managers and IoT in reducing water consumption as one of the most important requirements of agriculture in a simulation by Matlab Software. The data was obtained from the Eurostat database. We also provide a framework for the presence of AI-aided Agriculture Knowledge Managers in fields that are specialized in agricultural science and knowledge management. Finally, due to the importance of governance in this sector, a framework for the governance of artificial intelligence in the field of agriculture with the presence of knowledge managers has been proposed.

The purpose of this research is to identify the factors affecting the agile supply chain and value creation for the customer in the automotive industry. Therefore, using a qualitative approach and meta-combination technique, these factors have been identified. In this research, the technique is based on the model of Clarson (2006), Sampling strategy, data collection method, data analysis method, appropriateness of research design with research goal, clear expression of findings, proper justification of research result, and homogeneity between research project guiding paradigms with selected methods were the 7 steps used in selecting articles. Based on the analysis, 33 studies were reviewed and 22 codes were introduced for value creation for the customer, and 22 codes for the agile supply chain. In the supply chain stages, agility and the factors that affect it create value. Agility leads to rapid change management, in which case the organization can identify and meet the needs of customers with the necessary flexibility. The higher the agility of the supply chain, the better the factors affecting value creation for the customer. In light of the findings obtained from the study, it could be said that economics moves from the traditional to the modern knowledge, so managers must avoid looking at assets one-dimensionally and understand the importance of the role of intangible assets such as customers and the organization's internal value-added factors that contribute to the organization's survival and competitive advantage.

This study aimed to assess the mediating role of flattery in the relationship between self-esteem and stress and job success from the point of view of the Ministry of Sport and Youth Experts. It is applied research in terms of classifying research by purpose, it is descriptive-non-experimental in terms of data collection, and has been the case study among all types of descriptive research methods. The statistical population of the study consists of 700 staff and experts of the Ministry of Sport and Youth. Using the Cochran formula, 400 individuals are selected as a statistical sample. The sampling method was random sampling. The demographic data of the experts were first evaluated and after confirming the validity and reliability of the questionnaire, the relationship between self-esteem and stress with job success was analyzed by considering the mediating role of flattery in structural equation modeling. Data were analyzed using SPSS and LISREL statistical software. Based on the results, the mediating role of flattery in the relationship between self-esteem and job success was confirmed and the relationship between stress and job success was confirmed. According to the results obtained, people who have high self-esteem perform all their duties regularly and do not leave any room for complaints to higher levels, so they try to learn even with the help of other employees or go ahead with extra-organizational training to overcome your problems. On the other hand, these people consider their value and importance so high that they do not allow themselves to flatter their superiors.

This research aims to explain the organizational ambidexterity model in Saderat Bank of Iran and its dimensions. Ambidexterity refers to the ability to succeed in two contradictory abilities at the same time, for example, ambidexterity such as exploiting current opportunities and discovering and creating new opportunities for the future, adaptation, alignment, flexibility, and efficiency. This research was conducted using a qualitative-inductive approach using the Strauss-Corbin grounded theory method. The data were obtained from the interviews conducted with 25 employees and qualified professionals of Saderat Bank of Iran and were analyzed through the three stages of open, central, and selective coding. Twelve general categories in the form of a paradigm model were identified, which included causal conditions (individual factors, organizational factors, group factors, and environmental factors), central phenomenon (organizational ambidexterity), contextual conditions (intellectual capital), intervening conditions (job-related factors, learning factors), strategies (individual strategy, organizational strategy) and consequences (individual consequences, group consequences, organizational consequences). Ambidexterity can increase the scope and depth of knowledge identified and used by the organization by focusing on two levels of knowledge: 1. paying attention to new knowledge due to its discovery capability and, 2. paying attention to current knowledge due to its exploitation capability. It can also help the development culture of learning and intelligence and enhance competitiveness.

This research aims to provide an information system based on virtual currency data in the banking industry in Iran. Data is one of the most significant assets of the organization. This research is applied in terms of purpose. The population includes university professors in marketing and experts, including managers of the banking industry. Sampling in the qualitative section was done purposefully, and the criteria of expertise were at least a graduate degree and ten-year of relevant work experience. Finally, 20 people were selected as samples. The method used is SWARA's quantitative prioritization method. The index of using virtual currency in Iran's sanctions situation (Q67) with a weight of 0.12 is the first. The index of entrepreneurial acceleration based on the new payment system (Q56) with a weight of 0.11 is the second priority. The index of general uncertainty about the nature of virtual currencies (Q16) with a weight of 0.09 is the third priority. The index of improving communication and interactions between customers and the bank (Q63) with a weight of 0.0859 is the fourth priority. The index of alignment of banking processes with global standards (Q61) with a weight of 0.07 is the fifth priority. Extracting useful information from the database and converting it into actionable results is the main challenge that companies face. Therefore, results show that one of the ways to the success of cryptocurrencies is the use of data-oriented information systems and data mining techniques. The data-oriented information system is one of the recent developments in data management technologies.

This type of marketing is a process to create high-quality and valuable content to guide customers and introduce your brand and attract customers. The current research seeks to identify the knowledge components effective on the antecedents and consequences of effective digital content marketing to facilitate knowledge acquisition. In the present study, by using the systematic review and meta-synthesis approach, the results and findings of previous researchers by performing the 7 steps of the Sandelowski and Barroso method have been analyzed, and the knowledge components that are effective on the antecedents and consequences of effective digital content marketing have been. To measure reliability and quality control, the Kappa method was used, and its value was identified for the indicators at the level of excellent agreement. The results in the Max Qda software led to the identification of 38 knowledge areas containing consequences in the form of seven components and two general dimensions and 21 knowledge areas containing the antecedents of effective digital content marketing in the form of four components and two general dimensions. Finally, the customer's behavioral engagement with the brand was identified as the indicator with the highest frequency among the consequences and attention to the characteristics of the audience as the indicator with the highest frequency among the antecedents of effective content marketing, and the knowledge obtained from them helps the field of digital content marketing.

This study aims to provide a Gamification Driver Soft modelling of Learning Management Systems in Covid-19 Pandemic. By studying the theoretical foundations and experimental background and content analysis approach, eleven drivers were identified in the first phase. This study's statistical population consisted of Persian Gulf University (Bushehr) faculty members with appropriate empirical and theoretical knowledge in information systems scope. Fourteen of them were selected as sample members by purposeful judgmental sampling method. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire whose validity was confirmed by face content analysis method, and also the reliability was confirmed by inconsistency rate method. The collected data were analyzed by fuzzy interpretive structural modelling to design a Gamification Driver Soft modelling. The results showed that the driver of "learning opportunity", "appropriate design", "ease of use", "motivation" and "cooperation" which were placed in the lower levels of the model, as effective and root driver. Therefore, it is requisite to have more emphasis on these drivers when designing systems to motivate users resulting in the improvement of learning outcomes. It should be noted that the proposed research is innovative in terms of modelling Gamification driver in learning/teaching systems in the Covid- 19 pandemic. In today's digital age; ideas formation will not be possible without considering other facts in terms of emerging paradigms of technology. Gamification is a new concept of information systems in the motivational learning scope that if used in virtual learning guarantees its success as the critical element of training in the pandemic of Covid-19.

Purpose: This study investigated the utilization of an electronic surveillance system in curbing theft and mutilation in Kwara State University, Malete, Nigeria.Method: The population of the study comprises the librarians and para-librarians of the Kwara State University Library, Malete. The study adopted mixed methods approach, where interviews and a set of questionnaires were used to collect data for the study. The study adopted the total enumeration method otherwise known as census as a sampling technique.Findings: The study found that the majority of the librarians revealed that electronic surveillance has been very effective in curbing theft and mutilation of information resources in the library. The study also found out that electronic surveillance reduces theft, the consciousness of being monitored in the library, preservation, and protection of library collection, and loss of library materials are the benefits of electronic surveillance in curbing theft and mutilation.Conclusion: Electronic surveillance is one of the mechanisms that is used by the library to deter the theft and mutilation of information materials. The study concluded that Kwara state university library is using anti-theft surveillance and they would start using CCTV surveillance as soon as they move to the newly built library.
