Introduction to Islamic Economics and Finance
This book -- a collection of papers from a special issue on Islamic Economics and Finance (IEF) published in the Singapore Economic Review -- focuses on providing financial services to the growing Muslim population based on Islamic principles, particularly the prohibition of interest-based transactions. The IEF industry has seen significant growth over the last two decades, primarily driven by the growth of Islamic banking. However, it has faced various challenges including competition from traditional finance, regulatory and accounting issues, harmonization of practices, and the impact of global crises.The collection highlights inconsistent findings on the performance of Islamic financial institutions compared to conventional banks, and the need to explore new dimensions beyond just comparisons. Lastly, it also emphasizes the importance of expanding Islamic finance beyond banking into non-banking sectors and using technology to improve financial inclusion. In conclusion, there is a noteworthy dominance of Islamic banking (over 70% of IEF activities) and research needs on leveraging fintech, automation and blockchain to expand the scope of Islamic finance.The volume provides an overview of the 20 papers included in the special issue, which are divided into five themes: (1) Islamic finance and disclosure governance, (2) market volatility linkages in Organization of Islamic Cooperation nations and institutions, (3) financial inclusion, efficiency, and growth in Islamic banks, (4) risk metrics of novel Islamic finance instruments, and (5) contemporary research applications.

Islamic Microeconomics
This book bridges the gap between Islamic and conventional (micro)economics by demonstrating how modern tools and theories of microeconomics can be applied to Islamic assumptions regarding economics and finance. In contrast to the tendency for Islamic economics and finance proponents to use qualitative and normative approaches based on idealistic assumptions, this book demonstrates how one can instead construct analytical models of Islamic economics and finance and simply compare the implications with those predominant in today's world. This book also offers extensive literature reviews demonstrating that for a long time, the gap between Islamic and conventional economics and finance is not as wide as previously thought, allowing those with an interest in both fields to participate more effectively and meaningfully in the ongoing discourse between the two fields.The authors conceptualize a general approach and apply it to basic consumer theory. More advanced microeconomic ideas are then discussed, culminating in demonstrations of how contract theory can facilitate a deeper analysis and appreciation of Islamic financial securities. A wide spectrum of academic literature on both Islamic and conventional economics and finance is drawn upon to facilitate a better appreciation for both fields and to inspire future works comparing the two in a more objective manner.
The Ethics of Sustainability in Management
Organizational storytelling has been taught for many years in many different places as part of organizational development, organizational change, organizational learning, and business ethics. There has not been any comprehensive framework that addresses sustainability in organizations and so this book develops a new ethics of sustainability for management and organizations. A terrestrial ethics of storymaking is proposed, which responds to Latour's claim that the Terrestrial has become a new decisive political actor in politics. The Terrestrial is born from Gaia, a metaphor for a new look on life on Earth. Gaia situates life in the thin layer of matter that is the surface of the Earth. It entails the view that nature is a process that humans are part of. Storymaking is constructed from Arendt's political philosophy, which is rooted ontologically in the principle of natality: rebirth of life. The term 'storymaking' is developed from Arendt's understanding of storytelling as political action to emphasize not only that stories are spatial, embodied and material practices that are tied to a specific time and space but also that technology is an important dimension in making stories. Stories are thus human practices that apart from meaning making and politics involve the use and manipulation of material and objects, and which are crucial for how a human world is shaped. This human world is furthermore shaped by the rhythms of life embedded in the complex landscapes that humans move through. Storymaking is developed through rethinking the links between the central categories of labor, work, action, and thinking in Arendt's writings. Implications for business ethics are drawn out and a comprehensive ethics framework is constructed that connects the biological and physical with the social, economic, and political regarding how organizations work. Finally, a storymaking philosophy of management is constructed, making this book especially relevant to researchers, academics, managers, and students in the fields of business ethics, management studies, leadership, organizational studies, and international business.
Women, Power and the Economy
In the complex landscapes of multiple global crises, the book unfolds as a panoramic journey through the intricate pathways of women and power, weaving a tapestry that transcends crises and ushers in a transformative vision of a just world.Against the backdrop of a patriarchal history steeped in autocratic power practices, the author urges us to recognize, understand and redefine power in its myriad forms for collective feminist power practices. With meticulous analysis, she unveils challenges posed by the patriarchal backlash, exposing the normalized male definitions of power and the societal structures that sustain pathological power relationships. The narrative of the book intertwines power, economy and patriarchy, laying bare the many traps for complicity with the patriarchal systems. The author advocates for a paradigm shift, emphasizing the role of female memories and genealogies as foundational elements for a collective feminist practice. Power, in this context, emerges not as a force for dominance but as the ability to make a positive impact, flourishing in the rich diversity of differences. The envisioned future is one where societies thrive on commons, planetary care, feminist economies and pluriversality. The narrative charts a course toward a feminist democracy, rooted in nurturing the planet and safeguarding future generations. Governance and networks stand as keystones in shaping these utopian landscapes, where pioneers and movements play vital roles in sculpting the contours of tomorrow.The book offers practical tools for strengthening collective feminist practices that can restructure power pathologies. It unfolds as a captivating vista, where the echoes of the past harmonize with the aspirations of a feminist future.

Ultimate Questions
The accumulated wisdom of a beloved business professor's signature course Who are we, and who am I? Why are we here, and why am I here? What is the good life, and what is my good life? How should I get along with others? For years, business ethics professor Andrew Wicks pursued these lines of inquiry in his perennially popular course "Ultimate Questions and Creating Value for Stakeholders." In this book, he presents the core ideas of the course to a general audience. Touching on a variety of possible answers--from philosophers, scientists, and more--without advocating for any single position, the book reminds readers that these questions are present in our lives every day and all the time. When we consider them consciously, we can identify our existing answers and craft new ones as we grow and change. They are at the core of what it means to live a fully realized life. And as the world becomes increasingly polarized, ultimate questions emerge as a critical lens through which to relate across difference. With gentle guidance, this book encourages the kind of difficult, vulnerable conversations that help us learn about and interact with each other more authentically--and offers tips on how to do so in a way that feels more like everyday dialogue among peers than hostile confrontations among rivals. While this book is about finding individual answers to these questions, it is also about business and business leadership. Business is a fundamentally human activity, in which people work together to make themselves and each other better off. When business leaders and students ask these probing questions, it leads to more understanding, more collaboration, and better business outcomes. The book is deeply tied to stakeholder theory, which posits that a business succeeds when it serves a wide range of people in its value chain: customers, suppliers, employees, financiers, community members, and more. Considering these questions with members of all these groups enables business leaders to better understand how to serve their stakeholders and find new ways to generate prosperity--not just for investors or owners, but for all involved in the value-creation process of a company. At once conceptual and down-to-earth, Ultimate Questions inspires reflection and offers tools to better understand ourselves and others, to build the kinds of connection and reciprocity needed to lead in business and to live with authenticity and purpose.

Living Real
You've done everything "right." So why does it still feel "off"?You've powered through and built it-the career, house, family, success. You checked the boxes, stayed the course, and did what society expected.But there comes a moment, especially for high-performing professionals and leaders (maybe it's triggered by a loss, a transition, burnout, or a quiet whisper of unease), when you realize: you've been living on autopilot. Going through the motions. Performing a life, rather than truly inhabiting it.Living Real is your wake-up call. In this powerful, practical guide to real success, business psychologist Camille Preston, PhD, invites you to get radically honest with yourself. She introduces a new way of being-one rooted in presence, vulnerability, and emotional integrity. This is not about burning it all down. It's about slowing down enough to listen in, strip away what no longer serves, and reconnect to what's real.Blending science, soul, and personal story, Camille offers a personal growth path to reclaim what matters most-before burnout, crisis, or loss forces you to. Living Real is more than a "how-to" book. It's an invitation to come home to yourself-and finally feel like you belong there.Feel More. Live Deeper. Shall we begin?

The Power to Change
YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE, BUT KNOWING WHERE YOU WANT TO GO IS NOT ENOUGH. YOU ALSO NEED TO KNOW HOW TO GET THERE. The Power to Change shows how to use Stoic principles to create a successful life and provides a clear road map and directions to get there. It will guide you in designing a life that flows well and dealing with problems that arise in everyday living. More than two thousand years ago, a group of philosophers known as the Stoics analyzed life's predicaments and came up with simple solutions. The principles they identified were so profound that they formed the basis of many major modern psychotherapies. They are easy to use and powerful, and they can be applied to modern life and its problems. Often we don't pay much attention to simple principles because we don't believe simple things can be effective, but when understood and consistently practiced, simple principles can have a profound effect on our lives. The problems are real. The solutions are accessible. Each chapter in The Power to Change is bite-sized and actionable, focusing on common, day-to-day challenges - from anxiety, self-sabotage and overthinking to resilience, habits and productivity - and giving you easy-to-apply tools to overcome them. Practicing them is not difficult. But practicing consistently is where most of us fail. The Power to Change is packed with tools and exercises to help you practice consistently, bypass every motivational plateau and reach the big payoff.
A Midlifer’s Guide to Content Creation and Profit

This book challenges the idea of being put out to pasture with encouraging evidence, that aided with technology, there is no best before date for meaningful content and cultural production." - Ayisha Osori is the author of Love Does Not Win Elections. "This book is a wealth of insights, a robust roadmap for midlifers aiming to flourish in a complex digital age. Its blend of honest reflections, expert interviews and captivating life stories offers compelling and inspiring proof that the digital age is not the exclusive domain of any age group but a space where all demographics can ideate, execute and thrive." - Adeyeye Joseph is managing director/editor-in-chief of The PUNCH. "Finally, a book to bridge the great tech divide between older and newer generations and open the minds of midlifers to the borderless possibilities surrounding them in the new world. This is a fascinating and engaging work from the peerless teacher who practises what he preaches." - Simon Kolawole is an author and the founder of TheCable newspaper.

The 55 Minutes
Albert Einstein is credited with saying, "If I had an hour to solve a problem, I'd spend fifty-five minutes thinking about the problem and five minutes thinking about solutions." This book is about how to use those metaphorical first fifty-five minutes wisely. If we want to be successful when we innovate, act, or try to "change the system," we need to get serious about understanding the problem. But problems don't exist in a vacuum. They are enmeshed and ensnared in complexity. Moreover, the kinds of problems we face in our workplaces, institutions, and society at large are the results of systems. Unfortunately, the world that most of us inhabit is focused on those last five minutes-rushing headlong toward a "solution" without having understood the problem. This happens in virtually every industry, organization, and sector of society. It's one of the reasons most new businesses fail, most public policies are reactive, and "innovation" (whether commercial or social) spends far too much time in the unicorn-seeking land of hackathons, design sprints, and slick pitches, where confident answers make poor substitutes for authentic understanding. We work in "solutions-driven" companies, we expect governments to deliver rapid fixes, and we ask schools to teach and test for the "right" answers, instead of asking new and better questions. This book is an "atlas," an expansive compendium of foundational practices, concepts, frameworks, and tools for mapping and navigating systems. It will help you ask better questions and see deeper forces beneath the problems and symptoms visible on the surface. To those who lament that "the system is broken," "the system is rigged," or "it's a systemic problem," this is a guide to understanding those systems and hopefully feeling less helpless, alienated, and confused. The world is not linear, binary, or static. It is rich with complex systems, and it is changing rapidly and radically. But in order to keep up, we need to slow down and think. Set your watch to The 55 Minutes-your compass amid complexity.

The Dark Pattern
From the creators of the theory of ethical blindness comes an investigation into how corporate scandals happen, revealing the common pattern behind them and how your organization can avoid them Too often, the stories of corporate scandals are narrated like Hollywood movies in which once-celebrated CEOs are unmasked as sociopaths and ultimately convicted for their crimes. What we fail to realize, however, is that most bad things are done by average people with honorable values and without bad intentions. In The Dark Pattern, two experts in business ethics and decision-making challenge the conventional view that corporate misconduct happens because of a handful of bad actors. Instead, the book shows how entire organizations can fall off the moral cliff because good people become ethically blind. Drawing on the latest insights from behavioral science, the authors identify nine toxic elements that lead to corporate scandals and offer nine actionable lessons for building morally resilient organizations. Essential reading for business leaders, The Dark Pattern offers real-world guidance for defending companies against the subtle dynamics of moral erosion.

Conflicts and Conflict Management in Intentional Communities
Intentional communities combine complex economic organizations with member-run governance. As in any human organization, conflicts arise--whether between members, officials, or external entities. These communities seek to manage disputes locally, often avoiding formal mechanisms like state courts. Many rely on bylaws and committees, adjusting their conflict-resolution strategies over time. Strategic decisions often require broad consensus, pushing members to refine their approaches to agreement. This volume explores how various intentional communities--such as kibbutzim, eco-villages, and cooperative housing--navigate internal and external conflicts. The book contains both theoretical analysis and research articles written specifically for this volume, alongside innovative practical methods developed and tested to resolve conflicts that arise in intentional communities.
