This comprehensive book delves into a diverse range of theoretical foundations, approaches, and management practices that are culturally and jurisdictionally appropriate in numerous Muslim countries. As such, it makes a significant contribution to the emerging field of comparative management and leadership theory, which aims to encompass a broader and more diverse range of perspectives, particularly from the non-Western world. Recognizing the crucial role of values, ethics, and culture in management knowledge development, the author provides a thorough exploration of Islamic management strategies that have been successfully implemented in selected Malaysian banking and non-banking financial institutions. The book is organized into three parts. The first part introduces the topic, provides a historical background, and outlines the methods used for data collection. The second part presents a series of real-world case studies, while the third part discusses the approaches to teaching these cases and concludes with conclusions and recommendations.

These case studies vividly map the strategic aspects of organizational structure and illustrate the motives that guide Malaysian managers in making specific decisions that align with the principles of Islamic inquiry. By doing so, management scholars can establish a solid foundation for conceptual and theoretical propositions that have practical relevance to Muslim culture and environment.

The book offers a wealth of information and empowers researchers to not only identify the determinants of knowledge structure and its context but also to observe the evolution of management practices. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers interested in understanding the unique dynamics of Muslim societies.
