Strategic Management in Islamic Finance Alexander von Pock 2007 edition

Alexander von Pock develops a holistic conceptual framework for identifying and testing key success factors of Islamic financial institutions. The framework integrates insights into the current practices of Islamic finance, a variety of theories ? namely the market-based view, the resource-based view, and, to some extent, New Institutional Economics approaches ? as well as previous research from the fields of strategic management and economics. The author is testing the theoretical framework empirically in a survey of 36 major Islamic financial institutions based in the Gulf Cooperation Council area and in Malaysia.
