Islam and Management

The Foundation of Knowledge’s most fundamental concern is to trace the evolution of scientific methodology and to highlight Islamic scholarship s everlasting contribution to grounding scientific research in the social experience while bringing transcendental knowledge to bear on normative frameworks. In addition, the book emphasizes the need to remain open-minded to a variety of scientific approaches to social phenomena. The book is of particular interest to the students of methodology and scientific methods, as it catalogs the various approaches to systematic investigation and sheds light on the profound role early Muslim scholars played in laying the foundation of scientific knowledge.

Beekun and Badawi, both professors of management and strategy, have written this primer on leadership integrating contemporary business techniques with traditional Islamic knowledge. The leadership paradigm is changing, and a leadership model based on ethical principles is finally emerging-a position that Islam has taken from the start. The synthesis of the authors results in a highly practical and inspiring manual for developing leadership skills.

This book contains ten chapters beginning with the theoretical foundation of strategic leadership in education. Entails to this, it is followed by nine more chapters (Strategic orientation, Strategic translation, Strategic alignment, Strategic intervention, Strategic competence, Restlessness, Absorptive capacity, Adaptive capacity and Wisdom) where each and every following chapters is representing the construct and variables which form the theoretical foundation and theoretical framework as been explained in the first chapter. This book is beneficial for postgraduate students who are specializing in Educational Management and Leadership.
