Innovation in Procurement and Its Added Value to the United Arab Emirates Banking Sector, Islamic and Conventional

For three decades, many studies related to the practices of procurement and their consequences on the performance of business were of attentiveness amongst many researchers. However, very few literature deals openly with the implementations of procurement impacting the performance of business. Thus, the technique that the author opts is to look into the firms’ perception of innovation which is banks’ performance for the customers as well as the importance of innovation concerning all stakeholders (shareholders, suppliers, internal customer and external customers) and its influence on business performance by conducting a case study, surveys and interviews with different stakeholders. The selected candidates for this study include banks’ senior management and business departments (Personnel Banking, Wholesale Banking, Treasury & Investment Banking, Information Technology, Project Management, Operations, Strategy & Transformation and Procurement), banks’ suppliers, banks’ customers with direct or indirect contribution with procurement and banks’ activities as a whole. A total of 284 respondents participated in the conducted research, 30 of these respondents from two banks were interviewed and 20 of these responses were used for the business case.

An Islamic Worldview from Turkey

Religion in a Modern, Secular and Democratic State

This book is a journey into the heart of an Islamic worldview. It asks challenging questions of far-reaching consequence, addressing matters such as the Qur’an and revelation; rituals and symbols embraced; nature of God, of humans, and of our knowing; dignity of the human, sacredness of life, and more. It precludes easy, prescribed answers, preferring instead thoughtful reflection on two basic questions: What does it mean to love God? What does it mean to be a good person? Carefully crafted responses are presented by a group of scholars from Qur’an Studies, Worldview Studies, Women’s Studies, Cultural Studies and Religious Education. It uncovers a dynamic understanding of Islam; one that meets challenges of the present, counters harsh criticisms, and breathes new life into a rich and longstanding tradition that continues to impact the lives of billions of people around the world.

One of the most important aspects of communication is language, and language always emerges from a culture. The Qur'an contains Arabic cultural content because it was revealed in that culture. This is understandable, natural and ...

The Digital Banking Revolution

How Fintech Companies Are Rapidly Transforming the Traditional Retail Banking Industry Through Disruptive Financial Innovation

For many years, retail banks have been secure, highly profitable businesses. However, recent industry disruption has come knocking at the door of these financial giants. The turning point was the global financial crisis experienced between the years 2007 and 2009 which not only led to large losses, and even the collapse of a significant number of established banks, but has shaken the trust of financial customers worldwide to their core. These factors, combined with the fact that banking has been relatively undisturbed for centuries, meant it was time for change, and that change has been the rapid rise of financial technology companies. Emergent innovative financial technologies are profoundly changing the way in which we spend, move and manage our money, unlike ever before. The digital transformation and its pace of change have been truly astounding, dramatically shifting customer behaviors and expectations of their financial service provider. Retail banks must now become positioned to fulfill their customers' every financial need, especially as the millennial generation is poised to soon command the largest purchasing power of any age group, and banks will need to become cognizant of this generation for a multitude of reasons.
