Islamic Values

Chapter 3 in The Influence of Islamic Values on Management Practice, 2014, pp 30-49 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Chapter 2 presented a portrait of Morocco and in doing so not only provided a contextual backcloth for this research but also identified how some of Morocco’s national characteristics may (in theory) shape its management practices. In this chapter, I focus more sharply on Islam and in particular its values; the sources of these values; what influence these values have on thought and behaviours; and more specifically, on how I identified individual Islamic values from the extant research that could be analysed and explored via the ‘lived’ experiences of the research participants’ own management practice. As this was an inductive piece of research, it was not assumed that the values taken from the extant research would provide an exhaustive list against which managers’ experiences can be ‘tested’. Rather it was assumed that the values identified would provide only a starting point for discussion and exploration.
