Islamic marketing

Islamic Marketing is a new social science introduced as an alternative
to the conventional marketing theory and practice.
To promote this purpose, a new academic publication, The
Journal of Islamic Marketing, has been founded by Dr. Baker
Ahmad Alserhan, of the Business Administration’s Marketing
track,UAE University who will serve as editor.
The journal will be published by Emerald, a respected
academic publisher, starting in February 2010, and will
provide a global forum for researchers, academics and
business people, where all issues related to Islamic Marketing
can be actively debated.
Published quarterly, JIMA is targeted to provide the
international marketing community with up-to-date
research, designed to address the challenges facing
marketers involved in business activities with and within
Islamic communities.
Articles Contributed to the journal will be subjected
to a thorough peer review process by an experienced and
highly regarded review board.
Marketing issues will be examined from an Islamic
perspective which, arguably, if adhered to, can help to create
a value-loaded global ethical marketing framework for
firms and estblish harmony and meaningful cooperation
betrketweent international marketers and their Muslim
target market.
This new scientific discipline attempts to put forward the point of view of Islamic principles relating to marketing. It discusses the marketing opportunities, challenges and traditions in the Islamic markets.
With nearly a quarter of the world population, these markets are spread across three continents where Islamic values have largely shaped the societal structures, culture and legal norms that influence consumer preferences and behaviour.
This new scientific discipline covers a specific and important part of the world. It provides insights into the various aspects of marketing to the Islamic markets such as franchising, distribution channels, retailing practices, branding, positioning, and pricing issues, all within the Muslim legal and cultural norms.
