Islamic Business and Economics has been hotly debated. As a result, many companies throughout the Islamic and non-Islamic world have new policies that are sympathetic to Islamic values. This unit introduces students to the principles of Islamic business values and ethics via carefully selected case studies. We ask what has been driving changing business practices? Is the rise of economically powerful Islamic actors one reason? Is OPEC just an ordinary cartel or do Islamic values come into play? Our interdisciplinary approach draws on the expertise of scholars and business people. -- Course Website
