This book examines a range of current issues in Islamic development
management. The first part of the book explores practical issues in
governance and the application of Islamic governance in new areas such
as quality management systems and the tourism industry, while the second
delves into questions of sustainability. The book proposes a new Islamic
sustainability and offers new perspectives on CSR in connection with
waqf (Islamic endowments) and microfinance. The third part of the book
addresses Islamic values and how they are applied in entrepreneurship,
inheritance, consumer behavior and marketing. The fourth part examines
the issues of waqf and takaful (a form of insurance in line with the
Islamic laws), while the fifth discusses the fiqh (the study of Islamic
legal codes) and legal framework from the perspectives of
entrepreneurship, higher education, reporting and inheritance (wills).
The final chapter is dedicated to the application of Islamic principles
in various other issues.
Written in an accessible style, the book will appeal to newcomers to the
field, as well as researchers and academics with an interest in Islamic
development management.
