Exploring the Landscape of Islamic Management Research Through Bibliometric Analysis: Insights and Implications

Abstract

    The exploration of Islamic management holds significant scholarly value as it can enhance comprehension and scholarship regarding management methodologies aligned with Islamic values. This study analyzes and presents a visual representation of the progression of scholarly papers about Islamic management. This study is based on research on Islamic management in the Scopus-indexed database from 1971- 2022. We analyze this discipline's publication trends, co-authorship networks, and bibliographic coupling using advanced tools like VOS Viewer and R Studio.  This study only considers databases indexed by Scopus, ignoring other reputable international indexers. We found that Islamic management studies focus on three areas: Organization and management as a tool, risk management in Islamic finance, and the effects of ethical management of Islam on conflict resolution. The findings of this study are significant in paving the way for future research and providing projections on areas that need a more significant portion of accelerated development. Decision-makers can utilize this research to implement innovative and sustainable strategies. Additionally, researchers can use this article as a guide to understand future research developments and orientations in Islamic management.
