Management in the Education Service

Challenge and Response

This book, first published in 1974, will be of special interest to all who are involved in the implementation of educational planning processes. The contributors explore various aspects of educational management and they describe the development of the planning process at the Department of Education and Science, and compare the objectives and programme structure adopted in the Local Education Authorities of Liverpool, Coventry, and Gloucestershire. The views expressed in the book are intended not so much to commend outright the adoption of these approaches by other authorities, as to give a focus to discussion of issues in management education.

Stakeholders Model of Governance in Islamic Economic System

The paper discusses the design of an efficient and optimal corporate governance structure of a firm within Islamic economic system. The objective of this paper is to identify factors, which will influence corporate governance within an Islamic economic system and to examine if corporate governance model will be 'shareholder'- or 'stakeholder'- centered? The paper argues that the governance model in Islamic economic system is a stakeholder-oriented model where governance structure and process at system and firm level protect rights of stakeholders who are exposed to any risk as a result of firm's activities. Whereas conventional system is struggling with finding convincing arguments to justify stakeholders' participation in governance, the foundation of a stakeholder model is found in Islam's principles of property rights, commitment to explicit and implicit contractual agreements and implementation of an effective incentive system. The paper also discusses the implication of a stakeholder model on depositors, Islamic financial institutions, and regulators.

M. Umer Chapra,Towards a Just Monetary System

The development of Islamic economics has been profound over the last twenty years. The excellent survey of Muslim Economic Thinking by Mohammad Nejatullah Siddiqi (Ahmad 1980) demonstrates the progress that has been made in every avenue of economic thought; the recent work by M. Khan and A. Mirakhor on Islamic Banking in Pakistan and Iran represents the first major study to quantify the effectiveness of an Islamic monetary system. The book by Dr. Umer Chapra, Towards a Just Monetary System, which is the subject matter of this review article, is an attempt, or so we are told by Khurshid Ahmad in the preface, to provide a "comprehensive and interpretative study of the Islamic monetary system" (P. 12), to "integrate theory and practice" and to "give a vigorous analysis of some key concepts" (P.13) in Islamic monetary economics. The reader is therefore given very high expectations of the book as the beginning of the fourth phase of Islamic economies - "a more integrative as well as more critical approach to the entire theory and practice of money and banking in Islam" (P.11). If these expectations are fulfilled Chapra has claim to pioneering work in Islamic macroeconomics but is this the case?

The Financial System and Monetary Policy in an Islamic Economy

Khan and Mirakhor have imposed on their model a structure and constraints which lend a tautological character to their exercise (13). The indiscreet replacement of the rate of interest in the secular model by a profit rate makes their conclusions tentative and questionable. Formulation infirmities have further weakened their position. Still, their work is laudable for it opens up some new areas of investigation in Islamic banking.

Towards an Interest-Free Islamic Economic System

Rigorous mathematical techniques are used to compare the Islamic financial system based on variable return scheme (VRS) with the traditional one based on fixed return scheme (FRS). It is shown, under certain assumptions which include risk aversion on the part of investors, that the Pareto optimal contract is the VRS. Also VRS spreads risks more evenly than FRS allowing more risk taking in the economy. The domination of the real world by FRS, i.e. debts contracts, is shown to be caused mainly by informational asymmetry and higher monitoring Costs in case of VRS. But these costs are not prohibitive. The more effective the methods of monitoring and the higher the level of honesty on the part of economic agents, the more superior the Islamic financial system would prove to be in practice.

Tindak Pidana Pencucian Uang

Pencucian uang dapat dilakukan dengan dua cara, yaitu secara ilegal dan legal. Secara ilegal, uang hasil kejahatan ditransfer, disimpan, atau dengan cara apa pun di penyedia jasa keuangan, seperti pasar modal dan bank. Secara legal, uang itu diperoleh secara legal menurut ketentuan yang berlaku. Tindak pidana pencucian uang melalui pasar modal dan atau bank lebih berbahaya dari tindak pidana pencucian uang melalui penyedia jasa keuangan lainnya, seperti dana pensiun dan asuransi. Berbahayanya pasar modal dan bank terhadap pencucian uang dapat memengaruhi nilai harga saham, nilai tukar mata uang, dan suku bunga bank yang sangat berpengaruh pada kepercayaan masyarakat dan kestabilan moneter. Tidak efektifnya pelaksanaan rezim anti-pencucian uang, juga akan mengakibatkan tidak maksimalnya pendekatan anti-pencucian uang dalam mendukung upaya penegakan hukum (law enforcement) atas tindak pidana asal, seperti korupsi, pembalakan liar, perdagangan dan penggunaan narkoba secara ilegal, serta tindak pidana terorisme di Indonesia. Hal ini tentunya akan memberikan insentif atau kemudahan bagi pelaku kejahatan, khususnya kejahatan yang melibatkan harta kekayaan dalam jumlah yang signifikan untuk mengulangi, bahkan memperluas kejahatannya. Sehubungan dengan hal-hal tersebut di atas dan mengingat pentingnya Undang-Undang Tindak Pidana Pencucian Uang sebagai landasan hukum dalam rangka pencegahan dan pemberantasan tindak pidana pencucian uang di Indonesia serta guna menghindari adanya penilaian negatif komunitas internasional yang tentunya akan berdampak buruk terhadap stabilitas dan integritas sistem keuangan dan sistem perekonomian, maka disarankan untuk segera melakukan perubahan dan penyempurnaan atas beberapa ketentuan dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 15 Tahun 2002 tentang Tindak Pidana Pencucian Uang sebagaimana telah diubah dengan Undang-Undang Nomor 25 Tahun 2003 dengan mengikuti standar internasional yang telah berubah sebagaimana tercermin dalam "revised 40 + 9 FATF recommendations" serta ketentuan anti-money laundering regime yang berlaku secara internasional (international best practice).

Islamic Tourism

Management of Travel Destinations

Islamic tourism is not purely motivated by religion; it also includes participants pursuing similar leisure experiences to non-Muslims, within the parameters set by Islam. Destinations are therefore not necessarily locations where Shari'a or full Islamic law is enforced. Demand for Islamic tourism destinations is increasing as the Muslim population expands, with the market forecast to be worth around US$238 billion. This book explores the ever-widening gap between the religious, tourism, management and education sectors. It provides practical applications, models and illustrations of religious tourism and pilgrimage management from a variety of international perspectives, and introduces theories and models in an accessible structure. The book: - Includes a range of contemporary case studies of religious and pilgrimage activities. - Covers ancient, sacred and emerging tourist destinations. - Reviews new forms of pilgrimage, faith systems and quasi-religious activities. This book offers an engaging assessment of the linkages and interconnections between Muslim consumers and the places they visit. It provides an important analysis for researchers of religious tourism, pilgrimage and related subjects.
