God at Work: Entrepreneurship from an Islamic Perspective Date:Thursday 20th November, 2014 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm Venue: Barclay Room, Green Templeton College Lunch will be provided Please register at: [email protected] The second in a series of four seminars in the GTC Future of Work Programmes Michaelmas 2014 Seminar Series entitled Working for a Purpose. Presented by Ali Aslan Gumusay. How does religion shape work? Research about the role of religion in entrepreneurship and more broadly management is sparse. Based on a paper recently published in the Journal of Business Ethics, we will look at Entrepreneurship from an Islamic Perspective, which is based on three interconnected pillars: the entrepreneurial, socio-economic/ethical and religio-spiritual. We will consider how Islam shapes entrepreneurship at the micro-, meso- and macro-level, whether and how Islam may be conceived as an entrepreneurial religion in the sense that it enables and encourages entrepreneurial activity and review research streams interlinking Islam with entrepreneurship and management. We will also refer to a current research project on the role of religion within an Islamic Bank.
