Decision making is one of the most important activities in all organizations, and in the meantime, it is more important in innovative and knowledge-based firms due to the lack of structure and resources on the one hand and the impact of decisions on the organization on the other. The business environment generally has many uncertainties, and this uncertainty about start-ups and technology-based businesses is much deeper. Deciding in this uncertain environment has limitations that make many technologists unconsciously use intuition in decision making. The purpose of this study was to study the descriptive process of intuitive decision making in technology and knowledge-based companies. Given the nature of the intuition, the method used in this research was qualitative (Grounded Theory) and based on the analysis of interviews. The results suggest that there is sufficient evidence that the decision-makers of knowledge-based companies use intuition in the uncertainty environment, and that information and time are the causative factors causing uncertainty. In addition, it was found that experience and intuitions are inextricably linked, and the mental patterns and curiosity of the variables associated with them. Unstable environment of business also play the role of the underlying factor of intuitive decision making. Increasing the speed of decision making, creativity and reducing feelings of regret from positive outcomes and increasing decision errors are also the negative consequences of the use of intuition.

The matter of intuition and intuitive decision making has attracted increasingly attention in scientific gatherings and research as an effective factor on management all around the world. Present research is based on the grounded strategy and it has identified the Islamic factors and components that are effective on managers' intuition and their decision making besides explaining intuition. The factors were identified through studying and prudence in Holy Quran and with concentration on sign's commentary. In order to avoid non-specialized understanding, Almizan exegesis has been put on the research basis. According to extracted concepts and theorems, the research theory was made based on divine outlook and the concepts of intuition have been explained in this framework. What arises from intuition's concept out of Quran is that "intuition is a spiritual power and superior to reason. Results explained intuition in frame of inspiration, heart sight, faculty of distinction and divine light. 22 components were extracted that were classified in two groups of deterrent and propellant using the ideas of experts of university and Howzeh. Based on Islamic basis, the effectiveness of these factors on intuition is certain, undeniable and fundamental.
