About IDMAC 2011


Introduction and Objective
The 5th ISDEV International Development Management Conference is the fifth of a series of initiative to encourage related research in Islamic social sciences perspective, especially in the area of Islamic Marketing and Assets Management. This conference is a continuation of the 4th ISDEV International Development Management Conference with the theme: Transforming Subsistence Zakat to Productive Zakat which was held at Universiti Sains Malaysia on 21 - 22 December 2010.

This year, the conference aims to achieve the following objectives:

1) To provide a platform and opportunities for marketing and assets management practitioners, managers, scholars, researchers, academicians, graduate students and others from all over the world to engage on an intellectual discourse on Islamic Marketing and Assets Management;

2)  To present the latest research findings related to all issues of Islamic Marketing and Assets Management, domestically and internationally, that relate to the philosophy and concepts, consumer behavior, laws, issues, challenges, prospects, transformation of Islamic marketing and assets management into a more effective and dynamic field of study and as well as a more vibrant industry;

3)   To explore new ideas and issues on Islamic marketing and assets management especially those that could contribute to the transformation of Islamic Marketing and Assets Management that is able to lead to the maximisation of benefits for the ummah.

Rationale

Islamic Marketing and Assets Management is a fairly new area, deemed to still be at its exploratory stage. As such, we each bear the responsibility in doing our share towards providing the building blocks and strengthening the understanding about the area, resulting into a body of knowledge for the fulfillment of primordial contract (the amanah) between Allah swt and man, in which man as servant of Allah swt, and His vicegerent on earth performs righteous deeds based on tawhidic ethical value.  In reality, the existing research on Islamic Marketing and Assets Management has been conducted using conventional research frameworks which place maximizing income, profits or other similar outcomes as the final goal.  This should not be the case, and so the situation therefore calls for idea development, discussions, debates and empirical research to be put into action based on Islamic tasawwur with goals that are more in line with the Islamic teachings and seek no ultimate results other than the redha (mardathillah) from Allah swt.

This conference attempts to seek the answers to these problems, as well as to formulate innovative ways and strategies to turn them into actions, implementations and realizations, with forward-looking insights into the keys that could pave the ways to the intended transformation of Islamic Marketing and Assets Management, from the current level to a more highly productive level.

This is a conference that hopes to be able to blend new, innovative and practical minds, unlike the common stereotype, reiterative and rhetorical ones. So are the papers and discussions expected for this conference.
