'..successfully combines the classical Islamic theoretical perspectives towards Management generally and Human Resource Management particularly with the related cotemporary theoretical and methodological perspectives that led to produce a blueprint for guiding Management Development and Human Resource Management transformational programs which are compatible with Arab World and Middle East socio-cultural contexts. The author's acknowledged long standing expertise as Management consultant and trainer in Jordan and in the Arab World and the successful implementation of the developed blueprint in various organizations in Jordan add to the credibility of this book.' - Adel Al-Rasheed, Professor of Management, German Jordanian University & Yarmouk University in Jordan 'Dr Hammoudeh’s work is a testimony for the imperative for knowledge mining in Islamic culture to inform and enlighten the Business literature and practice. Her insights on the linkages between culture and business are of value since her model has resonance with basic notions of Tawheed (Unity), Ihsan (inner beauty) and Mizan (social justice). There are windows of opportunities to harness and embody local knowledge inspired by Islamic values as a humanitarian and universal business charter that will both enhance cultural diversity and innovation through sound and smart understanding of text and context in both Islam and Business.' - Prof. Odeh Al-Jayyousi, Regional Director- IUCN 'This book, takes you through several journeys to explore and help you live the experience of management in Islam through the personal journey of the author, the transformation journey of two local organizations, the journey of total quality management in Jordan to the journey of consulting in an Arabic country. For sure, one thing Maqbouleh is not going to deprive from: the inquisitiveness to learn and find more about the fascinating subjects she succeeded to open widely for research and reflection.' - Zain E.A.M.
