The Routledge Handbook of Islamic Economics and Finance
Islamic finance is one of the fastest growing sectors of the finance industry due to a number of factors, including the technology boom, FinTech, blockchain, higher oil and commodity prices, but also in particular, due to its demand by 1.5 billion Muslims around the globe. It enjoys sustainably higher positive returns compared to its conventional finance counterparts, specifically during financial crises. Moreover, it plays a major role in implementing the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, due to its non-traditional source of long-term fund-financing that advances social, environmental, and economic goals.

Business and Religion
This book explores the connections between Christian religions and businesses. It examines how companies adopt tools traditionally used by churches to manage culture, strategy, and values while also exploring how churches leverage business strategies to achieve similar objectives. The author analyzes the mechanisms of influence both institutions use to internalize the "soul" of their organizations, including marketing systems, supported by real-world case studies. Later, he shows how companies like Coca-Cola behave like secular religions. He then compares how religious organizations--such as the Catholic Church, the Willow Creek Community Church, and the Jesuit Order--employ influence and business strategies similar to those of corporations like McDonald's, Mary Kay, and the consulting firm McKinsey & Co. By examining these parallels, this work reveals that business corporations and churches operate in fundamentally similar ways. Lastly, this volume estimates the monetary dimensions of what the author refers to as the "salvation market." As society has become more demanding of corporate behavior, companies have responded by developing new areas--such as human resources to improve employee conditions, marketing to attract customers and talent, and the concept of stakeholders, which gave rise to a focus on ethical considerations, such as corporate social responsibility (CSR) as well as diversity and inclusion initiatives. The culmination of this process today is a strong emphasis on sustainability, showing how these new ethical values have gained prominence. Exploring organizational dynamics through a sociological lens, this book will appeal to researchers interested in organizational behavior, strategy, and marketing who seek to learn about the cultural dynamics of business and religious organizations.
Orchestrating Connection
Orchestrating Connection is a groundbreaking exploration of how intentional, purpose-driven community building can transform personal and societal landscapes.In an increasingly polarized world where loneliness is considered an epidemic and people flock to homogeneous, like-minded communities, the necessity of meaningful connections has never been more profound. Through the lens of David Homan's Orchestrated Connecting community and methodology--and backed by Noah Askin's academic expertise in sociology and social networks--Orchestrating Connection presents a blueprint for building deep trust quickly, fostering relationships that transcend traditional networking, and cultivating environments where empathy, diversity, and generosity flourish.Fundamentally, communities are built around shared values, regular rituals, and a carefully crafted culture that helps individual members feel a sense of belonging while helping the community achieve its purpose. Orchestrating Connection explores how structure and rigorous intentionality behind each of these three concepts has helped David build a unique and profoundly impactful community centered around the idea of a "give and give" mindset and how others can do the same. This insightful guide is not only for people leading or participating in formal communities like alumni networks, artistic enclaves, or organizations' Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) but also for anyone seeking to build their own network with greater purpose.Orchestrating Connection is the beginning of a movement toward redefining the essence of community in the modern age. Intertwining personal narratives with practical guidance, it invites readers on a transformative journey to discover the power of connections composed with intention and purpose.
