Definition
Islamic strategic management refers to the process of thinking, analysis, decision-making, and action, which is based on Islamic methods and sources, in which individual, group, organizational, national, and transnational goals are pursued. Of course, it is unnecessary to extract from Islamic sources and Islamic methods from the beginning to the end of this process. However, Islam determines the primary orientation, and so experimental or nonexperimental sources can be used to achieve Islamic strategic management.
