The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is undergoing
significant socio-political and developmental transition. Although
interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the region is
growing, little research has addressed corporate social
responsibility education and its potential impact. CSR has an
important role to play in the socio-economic development of the
Middle East and North Africa due to the volatility and
developmental needs of the region. Recent research has highlighted
that the vitality of the institutional environment and the needs of
multiple stakeholders in CSR are not necessarily consistent with
the notion of CSR in the West. This book compiles conceptual,
contextual, and empirical research that addresses the concepts of
CSR, ethics, and sustainability education in the MENA region, with
a special emphasis on how educators can bridge to the Giving Voice
to Values approach. This book presents a much-needed portfolio of
articles from authors based in Egypt, Morocco, the Sultanate of
Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), highlighting first
an overview of the topic and its corresponding publications in the
MENA region, then presenting several exemplary cases related to
ECSRS application in various countries.
Despite continuous public interest in leadership studies as well as
the abundance of extant literature, the world continues to face
leadership predicaments. Given the global crises mankind has been
recently exposed to, which include the financial crisis of 2008 as
well as the COVID-19 pandemic, further exploration of leadership
concepts seems warranted. This edited book aims at introducing the
concept of Balanced Leadership from an Islamic perspective. Drawing
on both leadership and Islamic studies, the book synchronizes
between secular and religious knowledge domains whilst introducing
the notion of balance to mainstream leadership literature. The
conceptualizations presented in the book serve to dissect the
leadership literature, present historical and philosophical
accounts of the balanced leadership concept and infuse that with
Islamic theology. The book is useful for practitioners interested
in leadership studies as well as scholars and researchers aiming at
extending the leadership literature.
Islamic tourism is not purely motivated by religion; it also
includes participants pursuing similar leisure experiences to
non-Muslims, within the parameters set by Islam. Destinations are
therefore not necessarily locations where Shari'a or full Islamic
law is enforced. Demand for Islamic tourism destinations is
increasing as the Muslim population expands, with the market
forecast to be worth around US$238 billion. This book explores the
ever-widening gap between the religious, tourism, management and
education sectors. It provides practical applications, models and
illustrations of religious tourism and pilgrimage management from a
variety of international perspectives, and introduces theories and
models in an accessible structure. The book: - Includes a range of
contemporary case studies of religious and pilgrimage activities. -
Covers ancient, sacred and emerging tourist destinations. - Reviews
new forms of pilgrimage, faith systems and quasi-religious
activities. This book offers an engaging assessment of the linkages
and interconnections between Muslim consumers and the places they
visit. It provides an important analysis for researchers of
religious tourism, pilgrimage and related subjects.
